Sam Alexis Confirms His Intent to Return to the Indiana University Men’s Basketball Team for the 2026-27 Season <\/strong> Sam Alexis announced Sunday afternoon his intent to return to IU basketball for the 2026-27. \u201cLet\u2019s do it again Hoosier Nation,\u201d Alexis wrote on his Instagram account, accompanied by a photo. Alexis\u00a0won an injunction in a Tennessee court\u00a0last week to play a fifth season of college basketball. The NCAA could appeal the injunction, which might create legal hurdles before the start of the 2026-27 season. Alexis joined the IU basketball team in Peru last month, signaling a possible return to the team for a fifth season. The 6-foot-9 and 240-pound Alexis played in three games for Team USA (Indiana) in Lima at the FISU America Games and produced 39 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and four blocks while shooting 18-of-22 (81.8%) from the field. Alexis will join an IU frontcourt that includes 6-foot-11 Aiden Sherrell and 7-foot-2 Samet Yigitoglu.\u00a0 All three have experience starting at the high major level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis spent one season with Indiana and etched his name in the program record book.  His 68.7 field goal percentage is the best single season ever by an IU player on 100 or more attempts. After transferring in from Florida, Alexis played in all 32 games and started the final 23 for the Hoosiers.  He averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 21.3 minutes per game. Alexis also made a personal best 72.5% (50-of-69) from the free throw line, had a team-best 50 dunks, posted 13 games with 10-plus points, and eight games with at least eight rebounds. With the addition of Alexis, IU now has 13 scholarship players on the 2026-27 roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomington North Graduate and Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Will Klein Placed on the 15-Day Injured List <\/strong> Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander and Bloomington North Graduate Will Klein has struggled of late, and on Saturday was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort. Wyatt Mills was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. That wasn\u2019t the only roster move on Saturday, as Kyle Hurt was also recalled from Triple-A and Cole Irvin was designated for assignment after pitching six innings on Friday night. Klein was slowly working his way up manager Dave Roberts\u2019 trust tree in the Dodgers’ bullpen, pitching in increasingly important spots over the first few months of the season. The right-hander\u2019s first third of the season was much better than his second third of the season, and it\u2019s been especially pronounced of late, with Klein allowing runs in each of his last six appearances. In those last six games, Klein allowed 13 runs (eight earned) on 10 hits and eight walks with eight strikeouts in 6 1\/3 innings. Since the beginning of June, Klein has a 6.11 ERA and 15-percent walk rate, after a 1.88 ERA and 7.3-percent walk rate through the end of May. On the season, Klein has a 3.67 ERA and 3.43 xERA with two saves, the first of his career, with 49 strikeouts and 21 walks in 41 2\/3 innings in his 36 games pitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the third stint in the majors this year for Mills, with three runs allowed in 4 1\/3 innings over five games, with seven walks and four strikeouts. In Triple-A this season, Mills has a 2.41 ERA and six saves in 33 games, with 52 strikeouts and 18 walks in 37 1\/3 innings. Mills last pitched for Oklahoma City on Thursday, tossing two scoreless innings with two strikeouts against Las Vegas. Also on Saturday, Charlie Barnes cleared waivers after getting designated for assignment <\/a>on Wednesday and was sent outright to Oklahoma City. Barnes declined the assignment and is now a free agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Fever’s Winning Streak Comes to an end with a loss to the Minnesota Lynx<\/strong> The Indiana Fever\u2019s five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday afternoon. The Minnesota Lynx beat the Fever 108-100. It was Minnesota\u2019s tenth straight victory. Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 37 points in the game. She finished 6-of-8 (75%) from behind-the-arc. Meanwhile, Fever guard Caitlin Clark had 19 points and 10 assists. All five starters for Minnesota scored in double digits. Guard Olivia Myles was the team\u2019s leading scorer with 28 points. Despite the loss, it was the sixth straight game that the Fever have scored at least 100 points. The Fever will hope to bounce back on Thursday back in Indy when they host the Las Vegas Aces. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Indiana University Football Wide Receiver Cam Camper Signs with the New York Jets <\/strong> The New York Jets have signed WR Cam Camper and waived\/injured wideout Gee Scott. Camper (6-3, 198), who was born in Willingboro, NJ, was a college teammate of Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper at Indiana in 2022-23. Camper most recently played for former Jets TE Anthony Becht’s Orlando Storm in the UFL, hauling in 25 receptions (17 resulted in first downs) for 366 yards and 3 TDs. In three collegiate seasons with IU and Boise State (2024), Camper had 121 receptions, 1,757 yards receiving\u00a0 (14.5 per) and 17 TDs. Camper, who started his college trek at Trinity Valley Community College, signed as an undrafted free agent with Jacksonville in 2025 and was released last August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott (6-3, 238), who signed with Jets on June 4, spent time on both the New England Patriots’ and Washington Commanders’ practice squads last year and was released from the Commanders in January. In five seasons with the Buckeyes from 2020-24, Scott, played TE, appearing in 48 games and had 47 career receptions for 393 yards and 4 TDs. An undrafted free agent out of Ohio State, Scott (6-3, 243) initially signed with the Patriots on May 9, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rallies Surround Indiana Fever-Minnesota Lynx Game After Sophie Cunningham’s Stance on Transgender Athletes<\/strong> A crowd of critics and supporters of Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham’s\u00a0stance on transgender participation\u00a0in women\u2019s sports gathered around and inside Target Center on Sunday as the Fever faced the Lynx in Minnesota. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a light blue shirt under her jacket that said, \u201cTrans kids belong\u201d as she directed her team \u2014 the top team in the WNBA \u2014 to a\u00a0108-100 win over the Fever. There were fans in the stands wearing T-shirts that read, \u201cTrans kids belong in sports.\u201d It’s the third straight\u00a0Fever game that drew a rally\u00a0after Cunningham recently voiced support for barring transgender girls and women from girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports in an ESPN article published last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the contest, Cunningham and Reeve held a conversation at midcourt. Reeve didn’t want to share the exact nature of their talk. \u201cBoth of us understand that we have platforms and we both talked about wanting to, more than anything, educate,\u201d Reeve said. \u201cThere are some things that we have in common, and maybe some things you differ on, just like any issues. I think it\u2019s how you handle things. It was nice to be in person, for sure.\u201d Cunningham was booed by the crowd on her first touch of the game and throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the arena, dozens of fans gathered near the entrance. A person using a loudspeaker repeated over and over, \u201cProtect trans women.\u201d There were signs held up that read, \u201cLove is truth” and \u201cThank you Sophie.\u201d Asked how she and the team are navigating the outside conversations, Caitlin Clark said after the game, \u201cI think we\u2019re excellent. \u201cI think it\u2019s for leagues and governing bodies to work with their athletes to find solutions,\u201d Clark said. \u201cOur focus is on basketball. That\u2019s what we talk about and how we can get wins and obviously we didn\u2019t do that tonight. So, we need to find an area to improve in that way.\u201d Any reaction? \u201cI just answered,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cunningham said Friday in Portland that she wasn’t concerned about rallies against transgender participation in women\u2019s sports becoming a distraction for the Fever. \u201cI think everyone who knows me personally, they know that I\u2019m full of love. I\u2019m bubbly. I love the people around me,\u201d Cunningham said Friday. \u201cI love basketball. I love inspiring the next generation and doing that in a positive light. And so that doesn\u2019t even cross my mind. Doesn\u2019t cross my teammates\u2019 minds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indianapolis Indians Rally Falls Short in an 8-7 Loss to the Louisville Bats<\/strong> The Indianapolis Indians scored five runs in the eighth inning but were unable to complete their third come-from-behind victory this week falling, 8-7, to the Louisville Bats on Sunday afternoon. Entering the eighth inning trailing, 8-2, Indianapolis (21-12, 52-56) batted around and used a five-run inning, capped off by a Joshua Palacios two-RBI single, to cut into the Louisville lead. Indians’ outfielder Johnathan Rodr\u00edguez led the offense on Sunday going 2-for-4 with a home run in the series finale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bats\u00a0(11-22,\u00a050-56)\u00a0jumped in front\u00a0in the third inning when\u00a0H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez\u00a0launched a two-run homer\u00a0to center field.\u00a0Michael Toglia\u00a0followed with\u00a0a\u00a0shot to center field\u00a0for back-to-back home runs and a 3-0 lead.\u00a0\u00a0Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s 448-foot rocket to center field in the fourth inning cut the deficit to 3-1 and was the second homer by Rodr\u00edguez in his debut series for the Indians after being acquired from the Orioles on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louisville\u00a0tacked on\u00a0an\u00a0additional\u00a0four runs\u00a0in the\u00a0bottom of the\u00a0fourth inning\u00a0highlighted by\u00a0a Dominic Pitelli\u00a0single, a Francisco Urbaez line-drive double and a\u00a0H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez\u00a0double to right field to extend the Louisville lead, 7-1.\u00a0Nick Dombkowski\u00a0(L,\u00a04-5)\u00a0started on the mound for the\u00a0Indians and\u00a0struck out seven\u00a0in his 3.0 innings. He was followed by Mike Clevinger\u2019s\u00a0two innings\u00a0of relief, struck out three and gave up four earned runs.\u00a0Brandon Neeck,\u00a0Justin Meis\u00a0and Beau Burrows\u00a0each pitched an inning and\u00a0combined to only give up three\u00a0Louisville hits.\u00a0Indians’\u00a0pitchers struck out a combined\u00a013 batters on Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0 Luis Mey\u00a0started\u00a0for the Bats\u00a0and\u00a0shut out the Indians in his 2.0 innings.\u00a0Sam Benschoter (W, 5-5) followed\u00a0him,\u00a0and Hunter Parks (S, 6) closed the game out.\u00a0 The Indians return home and will start their six-game series against the Iowa Cubs this evening with first pitch set for 6:35 PM at Victory Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘We have everything we need’ Indianapolis Colts Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon lays out expectations for the 2026 Season<\/strong> As the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0wrapped up Day 3 of training camp in Westfield Friday, team owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon shared her thoughts on the upcoming season. Irsay-Gordon has been very clear about her expectations for the franchise and their mantra for the season, “Find A Way.” The Colts have fallen short in that regard the last few seasons. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2020 and haven’t won the division since 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is it going to take for general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen to remain with the team in what’s certain to be a consequential season? “I think even if you’re Seattle, you know, I think the pressure is always there, but certainly, I mean, as I’ve told Chris and Shane, you know, the sense of urgency has never been higher, and we have to find a way,” Irsay-Gordon said. “So it’s Day 3 in training camp, and like I said, I believe we have everyone here to get us where we need to go. Chris wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe that, and we’re just going to have to see how things play out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colts owner doubled down about her expectations and that she believes this team has the personnel to do it, speaking about why she feels the way she does. “That first quality and success, consistency, you know, I think when you don’t have, you know, quarterback position as an example, you know, that’s the leader of our team. I think it’s going into the second year, Daniel (Jones), you know, seeing what we saw in that first half, I mean that’s such a key thing. I mean, it’s key for coaches, the way we build our scheme. It’s key for Chris, the way we build our roster and fill in the pieces,” Irsay-Gordon said. “We have everything we need to get where we need to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
