Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin hits US$118,000 as ETF inflows surge and US crypto legislation advances

Bitcoin shattered previous records by surging past US$118,000 this week, with bullish momentum sustained by large inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs and favorable policy signals from Washington.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency jumped over 7 percent Friday, closing in on US$119,000 as investors cheered bipartisan Senate passage of the GENIUS Act—a bill that would establish regulatory guardrails for stablecoins.

Market optimism is also supported by a softer US dollar and the Trump administration’s overt crypto friendliness.

The GENIUS Act would codify requirements for fiat-pegged stablecoins, offering investor protections while legitimizing the sector in the eyes of institutional capital. ETFs tracking Bitcoin have posted record volumes, drawing billions in net inflows.

Bitcoin is now up over 26 percent year-to-date, with total crypto market capitalization nearing US$3.5 trillion.

Analysts expect next week’s “crypto week” in Congress to further catalyze sentiment, as lawmakers debate multiple digital asset bills.

Trump-linked WLFI Token gets US$100M buy from anonymous entity

A little-known group called Aqua 1 Foundation became the largest public investor in Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) crypto token, buying US$100 million worth of tokens in late June.

According to Reuters, though the foundation says it is based in the UAE, public records offered no clarity on the group’s financial backers or its supposed founder Dave Lee.

The token purchase directly benefits the Trump family, which reportedly receives 75 percent of all WLFI proceeds; the family’s estimated crypto earnings have now topped US$500 million.

While Aqua 1 said in a brief statement it was backed by ‘mission-aligned partners,’ it declined to offer transparency on its structure, citing privacy. US ethics experts have raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, despite the White House stating Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children.

World Liberty and Trump Media did not respond to press inquiries.

EU regulator warns crypto firms over misleading investors

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) warned crypto platforms against blurring the distinction between regulated and unregulated products under MiCA, the EU’s new crypto framework.

ESMA said that many crypto firms are offering both compliant and non-compliant services on the same platform, creating investor confusion and undermining MiCA’s consumer protections.

Under MiCA, only firms licensed as crypto asset service providers (CASPs) are allowed to market specific financial products across the EU.

However, direct investments in commodities or crypto lending still fall outside the scope of those protections. ESMA also criticized some firms for using their regulated status as a marketing tactic to legitimize riskier services.

DoD Invests US$400 Million in Rare Earth Firm MP Materials

Investing 3 Mins Read

The US Department of Defense (DoD) will become the largest shareholder in MP Materials (NYSE:MP) after agreeing to purchase US$400 million worth of preferred stock in the company, which owns and operates the only rare earth mine in the United States.

The rare earths producer said the proceeds from the investment will fund the expansion of its processing capabilities at the Mountain Pass mine in California and support the construction of a second magnet manufacturing facility in the US.

The materials mined and processed by MP are critical to the production of permanent magnets used in military systems, including the F-35 fighter jet, drones, and submarines.

The US has depended heavily on foreign imports for these materials — primarily from China, which accounted for about 70 percent of rare earth imports in 2023, according to the US Geological Survey.

In a press release issued Thursday (July 10), MP Materials described the agreement as a ‘transformational public-private partnership’ and said it would ‘dramatically accelerate the build-out of an end-to-end US rare earth magnet supply chain and reduce foreign dependency.’

The investment gives the Pentagon newly created preferred stock convertible into common shares, along with a 10-year warrant to buy additional stock at US$30.03 per share.

If fully converted and exercised, the DoD would own 15 percent of MP Materials, based on current share counts as of July 9. That would exceed the 8.61 percent stake held by CEO James Litinsky and the 8.27 percent stake held by BlackRock Fund Advisors.

Litinsky emphasized that the deal does not equate to government control of the company. “This is not a nationalization,” he said in an interview on CNBC. “We remain a thriving public company. We now have a great new partner in our economically largest shareholder, DoD, but we still control our company. We control our destiny. We’re shareholder driven.”

MP’s new magnet facility, called the “10X Facility,” will increase the company’s magnet manufacturing capacity to 10,000 metric tons annually once it begins commissioning in 2028. The exact location of the facility has not yet been disclosed.

The Pentagon has committed to purchasing 100 percent of the magnets produced at the 10X Facility for 10 years.

Additionally, the DoD will guarantee a minimum price of US$110 per kilogram for MP’s neodymium-praseodymium oxide (NdPr), a key material used in magnet production. If market prices fall below that threshold, the Pentagon will pay the difference quarterly.

In return, once the new facility is operational, the government will receive 30 percent of any upside above US$110 per kilogram.

To further support the buildout, MP Materials expects to receive a US$150 million loan from the Pentagon within 30 days to expand its heavy rare earth separation capabilities at Mountain Pass, the only active rare earth mine in the US.

It is also commissioning a magnetics facility in Texas, known as Independence, to bolster its downstream processing capabilities.

As the only domestic miner with vertically integrated capabilities and a clear path to rare earth magnet production at scale, MP Materials now sits at the center of the Biden-to-Trump era effort to bring critical mineral supply chains back to American soil.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Avanti Gold Gains 158 Percent on Misisi Settlement

Investing 12 Mins Read

Statistics Canada released its June Labour Force Survey on Friday (July 11). The data indicated that 83,000 new jobs were added to the workforce, led by 34,000 new employees in the wholesale and retail trade category and a 17,000 worker rise in the healthcare and social assistance category.

In other positive news for the Canadian job market, the overall employment rate rose by 0.1 percent to 60.9 percent, while the unemployment rate declined by 0.1 percent to 6.9 percent.

The strong labour report came as a surprise to analysts who had been expecting employment rates to be flat month-over-month and the unemployment rate to increase to 7.1 percent. The June data signifies the first notable improvement in the job market since January and breaks a three-month rising trend in the unemployment rate.

Late on Thursday (June 10), US President Donald Trump threatened Canada with a 35 percent tariff on all exports starting on August 1. In his letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump said that Canada had imposed unfair trade practices, citing a 400 percent tariff on dairy products.

However, Canada has a trade deficit with the US when it comes to dairy. Imports in 2024 reached a record C$877 million, while exports of Canadian dairy totaled just C$358 million. Canada imposes a tariff rate quota, which limits the amount of duty-free dairy products that can enter Canada. Tariffs are only applied once the quota is exceeded.

Trump also pointed to continued flows of fentanyl into the US, saying, “If Canada works with me to stop the flow of fentanyl, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter.”

The president has used fentanyl as a reason for imposing tariffs against Canada since the start of his term, although the Canadian government is already taking action to secure the border further and the flow of the drug through the northern border remains a fraction of what it is at the southern border.

So far in the 2025 fiscal year, which started in October 2024, there have been 58 pounds of fentanyl seized at the Canada-US border. While the quantity of drugs seized coming from Canada has increased from 43 pounds the prior year, the number of events recorded has fallen to 38 from 67 in fiscal year 2024.

In December 2024, Canada announced C$1.3 billion in additional funding for increased security at the border, which included new and expanded detection capacity for illegal drugs. Between February and March, the Canada Border Services Agency conducted a one month drug-seizure operation focused on air, land and sea shipments named Operation Blizzard.

In May, the agency reported it seized 1.73 kilograms of fentanyl during the operation, 1.44 kilograms of which were en route to the United States. Additionally, 67.5 percent of the 2,600 seizures related to any drug ‘were of illegal narcotics coming to Canada from the United States,’ with only 17.5 percent going in the other direction.

Trump also announced on Tuesday (July 8) a 50 percent tariff on copper imports into the United States. The levies were imposed under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which is designed to give the president the power to levy tariffs on imports deemed to be critical to national security.

According to the United States Geological Survey, Canada is the second largest exporter of refined copper to the United States behind Chile and top exporter of copper ore to the country.

The effects of the tariffs may take some time to work into the market. Still, British Columbia and Ontario will feel the impact as the two largest copper-producing provinces.

The copper price skyrocketed on the news to a fresh all-time high of US$5.72 per pound on the COMEX.

Markets and commodities react

In Canada, equity markets were mixed this week. While the S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) fell 0.04 percent to close at 27,023.25 on Friday (July 11), the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) fared better, gaining 4.01 percent to 784.42, and the CSE Composite Index (CSE:CSECOMP) climbed 6.53 percent to 129.79.

US equity markets ended the week largely flat overall, with the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:INX) gaining just 0.21 percent to close Thursday at 6,259.74, the Nasdaq 100 (INDEXNASDAQ:NDX) climbing 0.13 percent to 22,780.60 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) falling 0.44 percent to 44,371.52.

In precious metals, the gold price rose 0.56 percent over the week to US$3,356.14 by Friday at 4 p.m. EDT. The silver price reached US$38.53, its highest price since 2011, near the end of trading Friday, before pulling back slightly to end the week up 3.38 percent at US$38.41.

In base metals, copper pulled back slightly from its fresh all-time high mentioned above, but still ended the week with a 10.24 percent gain to US$5.58. The S&P GSCI (INDEXSP:SPGSCI) lost 0.98 percent to close at 551.38.

Top Canadian mining stocks this week

How did mining stocks perform against this backdrop?

Take a look at this week’s five best-performing Canadian mining stocks below.

Stock data for this article was retrieved at 4 p.m. EDT on Friday using TradingView’s stock screener. Only companies trading on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market capitalizations greater than C$10 million are included. Mineral companies within the non-energy minerals, energy minerals, process industry and producer manufacturing sectors were considered.

1. Avanti Gold (CSE:AGC)

Weekly gain: 158.33 percent
Market cap: C$10.92 million
Share price: C$0.155

Avanti Gold is an exploration and development company working to advance its flagship Misisi gold project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The project consists of three mining licenses covering an area of 133 square kilometres in the Kibara gold belt and is a 73.5/21.5 joint venture between Avanti and Chinese mining company MMG (HKEX:1208), with the DRC government retaining a 5 percent interest.

An August 2023 technical report demonstrated an inferred mineral resource estimate of 3.11 million ounces of contained gold from 40.8 million metric tons of ore with an average grade of 2.37 g/t.

Shares in Avanti rose this week after the company announced on Thursday that it settled the payment dispute between itself, Arc Minerals (LSE:ARCM) and Regency Mining, which Avanti acquired in December 2022.

Prior to its acquisition by Avanti, in April 2022 then-private company Regency agreed to purchase Arc subsidiary Casa Mining, owner of the 73.5 percent interest in the Misisi project. Under the terms of the original deal, Regency agreed to pay Arc in part with US$1.25 million in shares of a public company, which was never fulfilled.

The new settlement agreement will enable Avanti to reduce the amount it owes if it pays within certain timeframes: US$562,500 if it pays Arc by August 31, or US$625,000 by October 31 or US$750,000 by December 31. If the payment is not completed this year, the amount owed will revert to the original US$1.25 million and be due on January 1, 2026.

2. Silver Mountain Resources (TSXV:AGMR)

Weekly gain: 139.68 percent
Market cap: C$27.87 million
Share price: C$1.51

Silver Mountain Resources is an exploration and development company working to restart production at the Reliquias underground mine in Central Peru.

The mine is part of the larger Castrovirreyna project, which consists of three blocks of mineral concessions. The main Reliquias block consists of 245 concessions covering an area of 24,093 hectares. The site also hosts a 2,000 metric ton per day processing plant, with an operating tailings dam.

A May 2024 preliminary economic assessment demonstrated project viability with an after-tax net present value of C$85 million, an internal rate of return of 51 percent and a payback period of 1.8 years.

The included mineral resource estimate showed measured and indicated grades of 4.25 ounces per metric ton silver, 0.41 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold, 2.02 percent lead, 3.09 percent zinc and 0.32 percent copper from 1.31 million metric tons of ore.

Shares in Silver Mountain gained significantly this week after it announced on Tuesday (July 8) that it was finalizing an agreement with global commodities supplier Trafigura for a US$10 million prepayment facility to advance work at Reliquias.

The company said it would provide further details once definitive documentation is completed.

3. Altima Energy (TSXV:ARH)

Weekly gain: 100 percent
Market cap: C$23.99 million
Share price: C$0.49

Altima Energy is a light oil and natural gas exploration and development company with operations in Alberta, Canada.

The property hosts combined proved and probable reserves of just under 2 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with a pre-tax net present value of C$25.8 million.

The company also owns two wells at its Twinning light oil site near Nisku, seven producing wells at its Red Earth property in Northern Alberta and two multi-zone wells at its Chambers Ferrier liquid gas production property.

Shares in Altima gained this week after it released news on Tuesday that it had completed a private placement for proceeds of up to C$5.5 million. Under the terms of the deal, the company will issue 20 million units at C$0.275 per unit, which each include one common share and one warrant allowing the holder to purchase a common share for C$0.40.

The company said that part of the proceeds would be used to complete field upgrades at its Red Earth and Richdale properties.

4. McFarlane Lake Mining (CSE:MLM)

Weekly gain: 83.33 percent
Market cap: C$14.88 million
Share price: C$0.055

McFarlane Lake Mining is a gold exploration company working to advance a portfolio of properties in Southern Ontario, Canada, with options agreements in place to earn 100 percent interests in the projects.

Its primary focus has been on its McMillan property southwest of Sudbury. The site consists of 12 mining leases over 268 hectares and hosted historic mining in the 1930s.

McFarlane Lake explored the property throughout the first half of 2025. On July 3, the company shared assay results from the final drill hole of its drill program at the project. The drill hole intersected a broad interval of 1.3 g/t gold over 29.5 meters, which included intersections of 6.6 g/t gold over 4.55 meters and 20.1 g/t over 1.45 meters.

In the same announcement, the company reported that a downhole electromagnetic survey of the drill hole located an electromagnetic ‘superconductor’ nearby.

Shares in McFarlane were up this week after it was announced on Monday (July 7) that it would be acquiring the Juby Gold project from Aris Mining (TSX:ARIS) for a total consideration of US$22 million, including US$10 million in cash.

The transaction includes Aris’ 100 percent stake in Juby and its 25 percent stake in the adjacent Knight property, in which Orecap Invest holds the other 75 percent interest.

In a follow-up release on Tuesday, the company said the property is one of Ontario’s largest undeveloped gold properties and highlighted a historical indicated mineral resource of 775,000 ounces of gold from 21.31 million metric tons of ore with an average grade of 1.13 g/t gold, plus an inferred resource of 1.49 million ounces of contained gold from ore grading 0.98 g/t.

5. World Copper (TSXV:WCU)

Weekly gain: 75 percent
Market cap: C$14.63 million
Share price: C$0.07

World Copper is an exploration and development company focused on its Zonia copper project in Central Arizona, US. It also owns the Escalones copper project in Chile.

The Zonia property, acquired following a merger with Cardero Resources in January 2022, has seen extensive exploration dating back 100 years and hosted open-pit mining operations until 1975.

In November 2024, the company released an amended resource estimate for the project, showing a total indicated resource of 668 million pounds of contained copper from 112.2 million short tons of ore with an average grade of 0.297 percent, and an inferred resource of 320 million pounds from 62.9 million short tons of ore with an average grade of 0.255 percent.

On February 19, World Copper reported it had entered into a binding agreement to sell Zonia to an arm’s length third party for cash considerations of C$26 million. However, on May 6, World Copper announced that it terminated the agreement.

The company has not released news since. Shares gained this week against a backdrop of US copper tariffs and a surging copper price.

FAQs for Canadian mining stocks

What is the difference between the TSX and TSXV?

The TSX, or Toronto Stock Exchange, is used by senior companies with larger market caps, and the TSXV, or TSX Venture Exchange, is used by smaller-cap companies. Companies listed on the TSXV can graduate to the senior exchange.

How many mining companies are listed on the TSX and TSXV?

As of February 2025, there were 1,572 companies listed on the TSXV, 905 of which were mining companies. Comparatively, the TSX was home to 1,859 companies, with 181 of those being mining companies.

Together the TSX and TSXV host around 40 percent of the world’s public mining companies.

How much does it cost to list on the TSXV?

There are a variety of different fees that companies must pay to list on the TSXV, and according to the exchange, they can vary based on the transaction’s nature and complexity. The listing fee alone will most likely cost between C$10,000 to C$70,000. Accounting and auditing fees could rack up between C$25,000 and C$100,000, while legal fees are expected to be over C$75,000 and an underwriters’ commission may hit up to 12 percent.

The exchange lists a handful of other fees and expenses companies can expect, including but not limited to security commission and transfer agency fees, investor relations costs and director and officer liability insurance.

These are all just for the initial listing, of course. There are ongoing expenses once companies are trading, such as sustaining fees and additional listing fees, plus the costs associated with filing regular reports.

How do you trade on the TSXV?

Investors can trade on the TSXV the way they would trade stocks on any exchange. This means they can use a stock broker or an individual investment account to buy and sell shares of TSXV-listed companies during the exchange’s trading hours.

Novak Djokovic injury update: Tennis star discusses semifinal match

Sport 4 Mins Read

Novak Djokovic’s shot at an eighth Wimbledon title will have to wait another year.

Djokovic, the No. 6 player in the world per the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), fell to No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4, in the men’s singles semifinals on July 11. Sinner will face No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles finals on Sunday, July 13 in what might have been Novak’s 25th career Grand Slam title.

Throughout the set, Djokovic was seen in discomfort from his recent injury, which impacted his game on the grass court and caused those within the tennis world to wonder 2025 would be the final year he took Centre Court at Wimbledon.

Here’s the latest on his injury:

Novak Djokovic injury status

Meeting with assembled media at Wimbledon following his semifinal loss, Djokovic said it wasn’t pleasant to be on the court vs. Sinner as he played through his groin injury.

‘It wasn’t really a pleasant feeling on the court. I don’t want to talk (about) in details about my injury and just whine about not managing to play my best. I want to congratulate Jannik for another great performance. That’s it. He’s in the finals. He was too strong,’ Djokovic said.

‘I do feel disappointed that I just wasn’t able to move as well as I thought or hoped that I would.’

Asked further about having to push through another injury during a Grand Slam, Djokovic said it is just age, and ‘not bad fortune.’

‘I don’t think it’s bad fortune, it is just age. The wear and tear of the body as much as I’m taking care of it and the reality hits me right now, last year and a half like never before, to be honest,’ Djokovic said. ‘It’s tough for me to accept that because I feel like when I’m fresh, when I’m fit, I can still play really good tennis and I’ve proven that this year.

‘I guess playing best of five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. The longer the tournament goes, the worse the condition gets. … It is what it is. It’s one of these things that you just have to accept, embrace in some way, deal with the reality the way it is and try to make the most out of it.’

Novak Djokovic injury update

The 38-year-old Djokovic was dealing with a hip and groin injury in the Wimbledon semifinal matchup vs. Sinner on July 11.

He sustained the groin injury in the final game of his quarterfinal win over Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday, July 9 when he slipped on the baseline of the court at Wimbledon during a rally. Novak did mention in his post-quarterfinals news conference that he wouldn’t feel the impact of the injury until the next day. He ultimately canceled practice ahead of his semifinal match.

Djokovic even had to take an injury timeout during his semifinal match, in which ESPN’s cameras saw a member of his team trying to help him stretch.

Djokovic’s injury at Wimbledon comes after he had to pull himself out of his semifinal match at the 2025 Australian Open vs. Alexander Zverev due to a torn muscle in his left leg after just one set. As noted by the Associated Press, Djokovic’s decision to remove himself from the Australian Open marked the second time in what was then his last four major tournaments that he was unable to finish because of an injury.

Will Novak Djokovic play at Wimbledon again?

Asked whether the 2025 Wimbledon Championship would be his last one, the 24-time Grand Slam winner suggested he sees at least one trip to Wimbledon in his future.

‘Hopefully it’s not my last match on the Centre Court. I’m not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today, so I’m planning to come back definitely at least one more time, plain and simple,’ Djokovic said.

Chelsea doesn’t care that ‘everyone is bigging up’ PSG in final

Sport 3 Mins Read

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Chelsea FC coach Enzo Maresca is certainly happy about leading his side to the FIFA Club World Cup final against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.

Captain Reece James – the only player remaining from Chelsea’s Champions League title in 2020-21, playing in this Club World Cup – isn’t satisfied with just making it this far.

Even as Chelsea enters as a steep underdog in the matchup with PSG on Sunday, July 13, at MetLife Stadium.

“They are one of the hottest teams in the world at the moment. But this is a final, a one-off game. Everyone has them down as strong favorites,” James said during a prematch press conference at the stadium on Friday, July 11.

“I don’t really care, to be honest. Everyone is bigging up our opposition. We’re preparing right, and we’re going to win.”

Well, everyone is “bigging up” Paris Saint-Germain for good reason. They’re not just considered the European champions. They’re considered the best club in the world.

PSG has won the French league, the French Cup, the French Super Cup and won their first Champions League title with a 5-0 victory against Inter Milan on May 31.

They’ve dominated through the Club World Cup, too – outside of a hiccup in the group stage, a 1-0 loss to Brazilian side Botafogo that didn’t do much but give them a brief wake-up call en route to the final.

PSG topped Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami 4-0 in the Round of 16, beat Bayern Munich 2-0 in the quarterfinals, and thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semifinal to reach Sunday’s match. Chelsea’s path saw a 4-1 win against Benfica (Portugal) in the Round of 16, a 2-1 quarterfinal win against Palmeiras (Brazil), and a 2-0 win against Fluminense (Brazil) in the semifinals.

Chelsea was a +450 underdog on Wednesday, July 8, when the final was set. Just two days before it, Chelsea is +400 to win, while PSG is the convincing favorite (-165), according to BETMGM.

“Stats and data. And favorite, not favorite. It doesn’t mean anything to me. It doesn’t mean anything to our team. It makes other people happy,” James said. “It’s two great, young sides, playing against each other on the biggest stage. I believe we’re going to go toe to toe.”

Added Maresca: “PSG is best team in world … We are here to do our best and try to win the final.”

Win or lose, Chelsea still has plenty to celebrate this season.

Chelsea qualified for next year’s Champions League, ending a three-year absence from tournament, after a fourth-place finish in the Premier League in Maresca’s first year with the club.

Maresca was hired in June 2024 to take over for Mauricio Pochettino (now, the U.S. men’s national team coach), who led Chelsea to a sixth-place finish in the EPL last season.

Maresca said his players feel “proud” and ‘happy” to reach the Club World Cup final in the first edition of this tournament that featured 32 of the best soccer teams globally. He also feels the same way, as his first year as Chelsea coach will end with a chance to win a title.

“I think it’s been a great season. For me, the biggest achievement for this season is exactly one year ago, no one was talking about Chelsea,” Maresca said.

“Now, everyone is talking about Chelsea, the way we play, and the way we win games. This is personally the biggest achievement of the season.”

MLS commissioner ‘hopeful’ Messi extends stay with Inter Miami

Sport 3 Mins Read

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber is hopeful Lionel Messi and Inter Miami can agree to a contract extension to keep the Argentine World Cup champion in the league before next year’s World Cup.

Messi is under contract with Inter Miami – co-owned by brothers Jorge and Jose Mas, and David Beckham – through the end of the 2025 MLS season.

“Messi has been such an incredible part of the MLS story the last couple of years and playing so well. It’s just been a gift to have the best player in the world in Major League Soccer,’ Garber told USA TODAY Sports during an interview on Friday, July 11, two days before the FIFA Club World Cup final.

“We certainly look forward to him continuing his career in Miami. I know Jorge Mas and his partners are going to work hard to see if they’re able to re-sign him and have him play here – hopefully prior to him playing for Argentina next summer.

“And not anything more I can add on that, but I’m hopeful that we’re able to re-sign him,” Garber added.

USA TODAY Sports reported earlier this week that Messi and Inter Miami are in continued negotiations on a new deal. One part of the process is whether Messi would extend through 2026 or 2027, a person familiar with the talks said on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing nature of negotiations.

Messi and Inter Miami will host Nashville SC in their next match on Saturday, July 12.

Messi became the first player in the league’s 30-year history to score multiple goals in four consecutive league matches in his last match. He scored twice on the road in a 2-1 win against the New England Revolution on July 9.

Messi also helped Inter Miami and MLS make history in the Club World Cup, where his free-kick goal against Portuguese side FC Porto delivered the first win for a North American team against a European club in a major international competition.

Garber also cherished Messi and Inter Miami having a chance to compete against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16, before they were ultimately eliminated from the tournament following a 4-0 loss on June 29 in Atlanta.

“The beauty of the Club World Cup is our teams had an opportunity to stand and go toe-to-toe with the top teams in the world,” Garber said of Inter Miami, the Seattle Sounders and Los Angeles FC representing MLS in the tournament.

“Miami had a good run and got out of the group [stage]. PSG is the best team in the world right now, and certainly is playing at the highest level. And while they lost that game, I think there was less talk about how Miami wasn’t good enough, and more about how great PSG is.

“But you got to get into the arena, and you got to fight the fight. And the Club World Cup gave our teams the opportunity to do that.”

Clark, Mitchell lift Indiana Fever over Atlanta Dream: Highlights

Sport 5 Mins Read

The Indiana Fever are back in the win column and leveled the season series against the Atlanta Dream 2-2.

The Fever defeated the Dream 99-82 on Friday, July 11 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, scoring the team’s second-highest point total of the season. With the win, the Fever move to 10-10 on the season, while the Dream drop to 12-8.

Caitlin Clark was one of four Fever players to hit double-digits, recording 12 points, nine assists and four rebounds in her second game back from an injury. Clark’s shooting slump, however, continued as she works her way back from a left groin injury that sidelined her for five-games. Clark shot 5-of-17 from the field and 1-of-7 from three. She’s gone 4-of-35 from three in her last five games.

Kelsey Mitchell had a team-high 25 points, while Aliyah Boston added 19 points, a career-high 8 assists and six rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter. Sophie Cunningham added a season-high 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench, marking her second career double-double.

‘It’s about dang time,’ Cunningham said following the win. ‘It finally felt good.’

Jordin Canada paced the Dream with a game-high 30 points, shooting 50% from the field and connecting on 6 of 11 3-pointers. She also tallied eight assists and three rebounds. Rhyne Howard added 14 points, and Brittney Griner chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds.

Here’s a recap of the Fever’s matchup against the Dream Friday:

Dream vs. Fever highlights

End of 3Q: Fever 69, Dream 65

The Fever outscored the Dream 29-20 in the third quarter to take a four-point lead into the final period. Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever with 22 points, while Aliyah Boston is closing in on a double-double with 11 points and eight rebounds. Caitlin Clark has nine points and five assists, shooting 4-of-13 from the field and 1-of-6 from three. Jordin Canada still leads the Dream with 28 points and six assists, although her scoring has slowed significantly. She scored 26 of her 28 points in the first half.

Rhyne Howard returns after being carried off court

Rhyne Howard is back on the court. She returned to start the third quarter with a large brace on her left leg after appearing to hyperextend her knee in the second quarter. Howard got some shots up during halftime and determined she was good to go. 

Halftime: Dream 45, Fever 40

Jordin Canada is red-hot for the Dream. Canada set a new career-high with 26 points in the first half, with most of her points coming from a career-high six 3-pointers. Canada was shooting 6-of-29 from 3 entering Friday’s matchup, but she’s already tied her season total from beyond the arc in the first half alone.

How? “Just being confident in myself and knowing that when the ball comes to me, I got to put it in the hoop,” Canada said at halftime, adding that the Dream need to “keep being aggressive’ against the Fever.

Despite Canada’s lights-out shooting, the Fever only trail by five points at halftime. Kelsey Mitchell leads the Fever with 14 points.

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark’s shooting woes have continued. She has four points and five assists, shooting 2-of-7 from the field and 0-of-4 from 3. 

Rhyne Howard carried back to locker room with leg injury

The Dream’s Rhyne Howard was shaken up after getting tangled up with the Fever’s Lexie Hull on a rebound attempt. With the Fever leading 24-23 with 7:29 remaining in the second quarter, Howard appeared to hyperextend her left knee while chasing a rebound and the All-Star immediately went down clutching her knee. She was carried back to the locker room. She has five points on the night.

End of Q1: Dream 23, Fever 21

The Atlanta Dream have a two-point lead heading into the second quarter, thanks to a 10-point performance from Jordin Canada, who knocked down a pair of threes in the first quarter.

The Fever, who had the second-best field-goal percentage in the league heading into Friday’s contest (45.7%), were held to 36.4% from the field and only 2-of-10 from three, compared to the Dream’s 50% from the field and beyond the arc.

Natasha Howard has a team-high five points. Clark is up to four points (2-of-5 FG, 0-of-2 3PT).

The Indiana Fever host the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Friday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on ION.

Caitlin Clark: Tyrese Haliburton ‘certainly loves the Fever’

Phillies ace withdraws from MLB All-Star Game to prioritize rest

Sport 2 Mins Read

Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler will not pitch in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game next week.

Wheeler plans to step away to prioritize rest and prepare for the second half of the season with the Phillies.

“He came in the other day and said he wanted to make sure his body was good coming out of the break and carry on through the rest of the year,” Phillies manager Robert Thomson told reporters regarding Wheeler’s decision. “He wants to do what’s right by the club. I think he’s being smart.”

The starting pitcher has compiled a 9-3 record in 18 games this season. In 116 innings pitched, he’s recorded 148 strikeouts, tied for the second most in the majors this season. He leads the majors in batting average against at .177, his 0.84 WHIP ranks second, and his 2.17 ERA is the third-best this season.

Wheeler is scheduled to start for the Phillies on Saturday, July 12 against Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres (7:35 p.m. ET, Fox).

MLB announced on its official X account that San Diego Padres pitcher Adrian Morejon has been added as a reserve pitcher for the National League, replacing Wheeler on the roster.
