Caitlin Clark's All-Star Absence | Bradley Beal’s Rep on Buyout and Clippers

A huge loss ahead of the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis as hometown hero Caitlin Clark announced she will not take part in the game and the three-point contest as she recovers from a groin injury that has sidelined her for an extended period this season. FOS women's sports reporter Annie Costabile is on the ground in Indy with instant reaction to Clark’s absence and how this could affect the hype surrounding the big event. Plus, three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Suns and plans to join the Clippers on a two-year deal. Mark Bartelstein, Beal’s representative who brokered the exit from the Suns, explains how this $96.9 million buyout materialized and Beal's long-term goal to stay in Los Angeles. And just days after canceling much of their programming, FS1 has signed an agreement with Barstool Sports that includes licensing content and Dave Portnoy appearing on its Big Noon Kickoff. FOS media and entertainment reporter Ryan Glasspiegel broke the news and joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to weigh in on the partnership and whether Portnoy can be Fox’s version of Pat McAfee.
