“That’s NOT who this league is!!” Indiana’s GM posted on X after Saturday’s Fever win over Chicago as some wonder if the lessons — and fouls — aren’t too much.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark works to regain control of the ball against Chicago Sky guard Dana Evans during a WNBA basketball game Saturday, June 1, 2024, in Indianapolis. . “You look superhuman playing against some 18-year-olds, but you’re going to come play with some grown women that have been playing professional basketball for a long time. There is going to be a transition period where you’re going to have to give yourself some grace as a rookie.
Carter refused to discuss the play after the game, replying, “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.” Clark deferred to her coach and told reporters: “It is what it is. I feel like I’m just at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate. … I’m trying not to let it bother me.” Physical play is nothing new in the WNBA. Reese, in fact, was on the receiving end of a more dangerous play late last month. In a May 25 game against the Connecticut Sun, Reese was battling Alyssa Thomas for a rebound when Thomas grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the floor. The back of her head smacked the court, but Reese was not injured and stayed in the game. The foul was determined to a flagrant-two upon review, and Thomas was automatically ejected.
