At a point in the third quarter, the Indiana Fever star was seen arguing with a referee, and even threatening him with “calling the league on him”. This was something to which fans didn’t take kindly.
” I love CC but it’s giving me Karen Clark energy 😂” Wrote one fan
“Is Caitlin a spoiled brat?” said someone else
“Has Caitlin Clark become more annoying than Angel Reese now? She’s definitely closing the gap lately.” wondered one fan
Others seem to think that the league is to blame.
“I feel like the WNBA wants to be this way. Kid of like a combo of Basketball, Rollerderby, Hockey and WWE. They have decided the fans like violence and mistreatment. Seriously” complained one fan
“Gotta admit the @WNBA has the worst professional referees I’ve ever seen in a sport” Pointed out another
Others thought that the fans were the ones to blame.
“So many of you in these comments clearly never saw Bird or Jordan play” Said one person
Caitlin Clark was forced off the court against the Connecticut Sun due to a recurring injury
Another reason why the game was a disappointment for Caitlin Clark is that the 23-year-old was forced to retire from the court with less than a minute on the clock due to an injury. The game against Connecticut was Clark’s fourth after a five-game absence due to a groin injury. Now it seems the issue has reappeared.
After providing an easy assist for Kelsey Mitchell, Clark was seen limping on the court while she grabbed the inside of her right leg. While walking off the court, she hit her head in frustration against the cushioned back of the basket.
While she sat on the bench, she covered her head with a towel and was seemingly holding back tears.
Speaking with the press on the aftermath of the game, Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White said:
“(Caitlin Clark) Just felt a little something in her groin… We’ll get it evaluated and see what happens from there,” Said White
The Indiana Fever play the New York Liberty tonight at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
