Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon and center A’ja Wilson sounded off on the noise hovering over Caitlin Clark during her first few games in the WNBA.

The Indiana Fever rookie brought much attention to the league following a historic collegiate career at the University of Iowa. However, not all appear pleased as narratives of favoritism and privilege circulated by the media drew negative attention towards Clark.

The negativity did not sit well with Hammon and Wilson as the reigning champions encouraged Clark and media members to ‘shut down the noise’ before hosting the Fever in Sin City.

‘I think this narrative of ‘everybody hating on Caitlin Clark,’ and even the black and white thing – knock it off,’ Hammon said during a media scrum on Friday. ‘It’s not there. So shut down the noise.’

‘We love Caitlin Clark,’ she emphasized, seemingly annoyed at the assumption of the contrary. ‘I think she’s amazing. I watch every time I possibly could.’
