Intense Caitlin Clark-Brittney Griner moment drawing scrutiny online

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22)

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been relatively positive about how games have been officiated throughout the season. This was not the case on Saturday, though, as the Fever secured an 85-75 road win over the Connecticut Sun.

There was no shortage of action during the game, and Clark wasn’t pleased with the referees’ whistle throughout the contest. So much so that the 24-year-old was hit with a technical foul late in the game for excessive complaining.

Clark finished with a game-high 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting, to go along with three rebounds, five assists, a block and five three-pointers in 36 minutes of action.

Brittney Griner drops Caitlin Clark with hard screen

One particular moment from the game is currently drawing a lot of attention online. In it, Clark is seen hitting the deck after running through a screen from Sun center Brittney Griner.

Clark pretty much ran into a brick wall as she turned to try to chase Connecticut guard Saniya Rivers. Griner stood her ground, and Clark fell to the floor. No whistle was called on the play.

Fans on social media believe that this was supposed to be an offensive foul on Griner.

“thats a foul she even dipped her shoulder into caitlin,” a comment on X read.

“The worst part is they called Lexi Hull for a moving pick with no movement just 1 minute earlier!!!” another said.

“looks like assault and battery🤔 And this kid is so skinny to take so much punishment. what the heck,” a user wrote.

“Griner was off balance with her feet wider than her shoulders. That is a textbook moving screen,” argued a viewer.

“BG knocked out CC with a moving screen and no call. CC received a flagrant foul for the exact same thing in a game earlier….” said another.

“It should’ve been a flagrant because he shoulder, but she shoulder her in the head,” demanded a fan.

This was just one of the moments that compounded Clark’s frustrations. She finally had enough in the fourth quarter, but her emotional outburst got her in trouble. It resulted in the two-time All-Star’s fourth technical foul of the season, which comes with a $1,000 fine.

The good news for Clark and the Fever is that they have now won three in a row, improving to 8-5 on the season. They will be looking to make it four straight on Tuesday against the Toronto Tempo.
