Caitlin Clark scored 23 points against the Chicago Sky on Sunday
Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark found herself in the midst of another contentious matchup against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, marked by physical play and standout performances.
The game, which aired nationally on CBS, saw Clark endure multiple hard fouls, echoing earlier incidents that sparked debate about player protection in the WNBA.
Kristy Wallace backs Caitlin Clark
In a notable moment during the first quarter, Clark drove towards the basket only to be met with a forceful foul by Sky guard Dana Evans, followed closely by Chennedy Carter.
This time, Clark’s teammate Kristy Wallace swiftly came to her defense, underscoring a supportive team dynamic amidst the on-court intensity.
Wallace’s intervention during the game highlighted a recurring narrative surrounding Clark’s rookie season with the Fever – concerns over her protection on the court.
The incident, which resulted in a common foul call against Evans, showcased Wallace’s readiness to stand up for her teammate in pivotal moments.
The tension from the incident did not escalate further, and the game continued with both teams battling fiercely.
Angel Reese’s flagrant foul makes headlines
Angel Reese, who has a storied rivalry with Caitlin Clark, further escalated their on-court competitiveness after hitting Clark on the head while she attempted a layup.
Reese was given a flagrant 1 foul after referees reviewed the play.
The foul, and Reese’s comments on the incident have dominated sports headlines on Sunday.
“It was a basketball play,”Reese explained postgame.
“I can’t control the refs. They affected the game obviously a lot today. I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip 20 times before Monday.”
Reese further expressed her frustration with the officiating.
“Going back and looking at the film, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made. I guess some people have a special whistle,” she remarked.
Ultimately, the Fever emerged victorious with a 91-83 win over the Sky, marking a significant achievement for Clark and her team.
Clark’s performance throughout the game was stellar, finishing with 23 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds, solidifying her status as a rising star in the league.
The Fever are scheduled to visit the Sky next Sunday.
This will be the first time Caitlin Clark will play in front of Chicago’s home crowd.
