Comedian Shane Gillis was tapped to host the ESPYs on Wednesday night, and he had a crass zinger for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark during one of his opening monologues.

Gillis, who is also an actor on the Netflix series "Tires," had a little something for everyone while he was on stage in Los Angeles. Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders were also among the targets.

But Gillis mapped out Clark’s future after she’s finished with the WNBA.

"When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most — fist-fighting Black women," he said to polite laughter from the crowd.

Clark was not at the ESPYs on Wednesday as she continues to be evaluated following an apparent injury during the team’s win over the Connecticut Sun. She came off the floor on Tuesday night clutching her upper leg and was seen on the bench in tears.

CAITLIN CLARK'S BROTHER BLAMES REFS FOR LATEST INJURY TO FEVER STAR

The Fever star was set to be a captain in the All-Star game and take part in the 3-point shooting contest. But all of that seemed up in the air.

"No discussion yet about this weekend," Fever head coach Stephanie White said on Wednesday night. "There was imaging done, and, obviously, we're ruling her out for tonight, but there hasn't been any discussion beyond tonight." 

Clark sustained a groin injury late in the fourth quarter of Indiana’s win over the Sun in Boston Tuesday night. White said she did not believe it was a "reinjury." Clark missed time in May due to a quad injury and was recently sidelined for five games with a left groin strain.

"I'm not really sure that it's a reinjury as much as a different kind of injury. I know oftentimes when you're working with injuries in the groin and the quad and the hamstring and all of those things, there's just — they're all kind of tied together, and it's not always just one thing."

The 2025 MLB All-Star game was one for the history books. 

For the first time in the history of the Midsummer Classic, a swing-off was needed to determine a winner. 

Aaron Judge, MLB's second-leading home run hitter, was noticeably absent from the group of AL Home Run Derby-style participants.

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts and the Yankees' Aaron Boone were the managers for this year's All-Star game after their teams met in last season's World Series.

Boone addressed concerns over his player selection for the swing-off, saying each manager was required to submit three names the day before the event. He added that his decision was based on the idea Judge would not be in the All-Star game in the late innings.

"We had to pick our guys yesterday," Boone said during a postgame news conference. "Wanted to make sure I picked guys I knew would be in the game there and still hot. That was my choice."

Athletics star Brent Rooker, Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and Rays player Jonathan Aranda were the three AL players who participated in the swing-off.

Phillies star Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs to lift the NL to an All-Star game victory and was named the game's MVP.

For the first time in four years, major league players took the field for an All-Star game wearing the uniforms of the teams they play for. Since the Atlanta Braves are a National League club, the NL All-Stars wore their white home uniforms. The AL All-Stars wore their gray road uniforms. 

In the past few years, players were given specially designed All-Star uniforms.

"I wanted to go out there and represent New York, so I just kind of thought about all the first-time All-Stars," the Yankees slugger told Fox News Digital in the American League clubhouse just hours before the first pitch at Tuesday's MLB All-Star game. 

"I just kind of voiced (my opinion on the situation). I wouldn't say it was my call or anything. … Like, I think it's cool for the fans too. I remember as a kid turning on the all the old All-Star games (on TV) and seeing the players in their uniforms."

When asked about his thoughts on the Home Run Derby, Judge said with a smile, "I already did it. I don't know what else you want from me.

"I think it's time for somebody else to step up and do their thing and have fun with. I love seeing new faces in the game go out there and do their thing."

Jazz Chisholm Jr. represented the Yankees Monday night in the Home Run Derby. The second baseman had the lowest home run total of the participants and failed to advance past the first round.

Judge remained supportive of his teammate and hinted Chisholm has his eye on chance at redemption in 2026.

"It's his first one. It's a big moment, but I know he's always ready for the big moment. But I think he got a base hit in the game tonight, so he was just staying ready for the All-Star game. My guy's an All-Star. He said he's going to do it again next year if he gets 20 homers. So, I think he'll be on a revenge tour for next season."

Caitlin Clark’s status for the WNBA All-Star Game remains undecided after the Indiana Fever guard was ruled out of Wednesday night’s game against the New York Liberty with a groin injury. 

Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters in a pregame news conference there has not been any talk about Clark’s availability for All-Star weekend, which will be hosted by the Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse beginning Friday. 

Clark is due to compete in the 3-point contest Friday and serve as a captain in Saturday’s All-Star Game.

"No discussion yet about this weekend," White said. "There was imaging done, and, obviously, we're ruling her out for tonight, but there hasn't been any discussion beyond tonight."

FEVER COACH ADDRESSES PHYSICALITY DIRECTED AT CAITLIN CLARK AFTER LATEST INJURY: 'IT JUST IS WHAT IT IS'

White added that a "slow" approach to getting Clark back on the court has always been the priority for both the success of the team and Clark "long term." 

"The big picture is the most important — for her health and wellness, long term and for our team. And we've been very slow in making sure that every time she comes back that she's ready. So, we'll continue to approach it like that. I mean, long term is the most important." 

White called the latest update on Clark’s injury "day-to-day," adding she sees that as good news. 

"You'd have to ask the athletic training staff. I mean, I consider it good news just because, for me, it's anything that we're talking about still day-to-day, is always good news for me. So, but that's the layman's viewpoint."

The audio of a 911 call John Elway made after his agent's fatal golf cart accident has been released.

Elway and his agent, Jeff Sperbeck, were at the Madison Club in La Quinta, California, April 26 when Sperbeck died of injuries in what local authorities ruled a "tragic accident."

Elway dialed 911 and told the dispatcher the two were "on a golf cart, and he fell off the golf cart," according to TMZ Sports.

Elway said the cart did not crash into anything, and Sperbeck had fallen from "the back." The Hall of Famer added that Sperbeck sustained a head injury.

"He fell off the golf cart. He was on the back, and he fell off of the golf cart," Elway said.

The operator instructed Elway to check Sperbeck's breathing and to check if his chest was rising.

"Do not splint any injuries, and do not move him unless he's in danger," the operator said.

The operator said he would give directions on how to "stop the bleeding" and asked him to get a "clean, dry cloth or towel." Elway then said he had a "medic on scene."

The operator then instructed Elway to call back if Sperbeck's condition worsened.

Elway avoided charges in the incident, and the investigation into the death has been completed.

A source told Page Six Elway "is not coping well with the loss and the accident. He has been really upset and withdrawn."

JOHN ELWAY 'REALLY UPSET AND WITHDRAWN' SINCE DEATH OF LONGTIME AGENT: REPORT

Sperbeck’s cause of death was "blunt force trauma," and the manner of death was an accident that occurred when the "passenger fell from the golf cart," the county coroner’s report said.

After Sperbeck’s death, Elway released a statement.

"I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck," Elway said in a statement, via ESPN. "There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me.

"My heart and deepest sympathies go out to Jeff’s wife, Cori; his children, Carly, Sam and Jackson; and everyone who knew and loved him. Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others."

Sperbeck had been Elway’s agent since 1990. The two collaborated on several business ventures.
