Caitlin Clark displays frustration over Indiana Fever rumor

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continue to struggle to start the season. They are 5-5 after their 83-75 loss to the New York Liberty on Saturday. At this point, their fans are growing more worried.

Kelsey Mitchell, Monique Billings, Aliyah Boston and Clark all scored in double digits, combining for 59 points. However, they could not stop Breanna Stewart from dominating inside the paint. The superstar center finished with 30 points, including 18-of-21 from the free-throw line, along with eight rebounds.

The Fever will play their next three games in seven days. They’ll have to compete with desperation to avoid going three games below .500. Their chemistry, as well as off-court relationships, will be tested over that stretch.

Caitlin Clark clears the air again on heated exchange with Stephanie White

One of the moments that drew a lot of attention earlier this season was the fiery moment between Clark and coach Stephanie White. It occurred during a timeout in the second half against the Portland Fire on May 30. The two-time All-Star addressed the rumor of a rift between them just a few days later, but reporters brought it up again during her media availability on Saturday.

Clark expressed frustration and made it clear that they have moved on from it.

“I mean, I don’t really know where we’re still on this,” Clark said. “We talked about it, and I think especially for our team. And we didn’t blatantly sit there and talk about everything you guys were writing and what’s in the media.

“We were just talking about how we can be better as a team, and that me and Steph are good; we have each other’s backs more than anybody, and I have my teammates’ backs more than anybody.

The 24-year-old added what’s important for Indiana moving forward.

“Just emphasizing that we don’t let what everybody wants to write and what everybody wants to say come into our locker room because those opinions don’t matter,” Clark said. “What matters is what you think of each other, what you think of your teammates, and how you’re going to go to bat for each other. 

“I think the best thing we did was come out and respond on Thursday. We played a great basketball game, but the reason we played great is because we played for the person to our left and to our right. That’s why we dominated the game, and I think if we continue to do that, it will allow us a lot of success.”

Caitlin Clark when asked how she’s handled recent online rumors about her and the Fever with her team:

The Fever looked ready to string wins together after defeating the Atlanta Dream on Thursday. However, Saturday’s loss brought them back to mediocrity.

Clark and Co. will return to action on the road on Monday against the Washington Mystics. Their eyes will be set on returning to winning ways.
