Caitlin Clark was furious after a rough foul knocked her to the ground.
The Caitlin Clark hype has taken off since she was drafted No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The rise in popularity of the WNBA has come slowly in recent years but with Clark and other young talent in the league now, it has skyrocketed. Clark is one of the biggest stars in all of sports and sometimes that can run people the wrong way.
While members of the WNBA have disputed claims that they don’t want her in the league, other moments may hint at a different meaning. In Saturday’s game against the Chicago Sky, a 71-70 win that elevated the Fever to a 2-8 record on the year, Clark was hit with a very hard foul by guard Chennedy Carter, knocking her to the ground. It seemed like an unnecessary foul at the time but the game carried on.
