Caitlin Clark has been in the news more so than usual as of late, although it’s not entirely for the reasons that she would hope. The aggressiveness that Clark has had to deal with from her WNBA rivals has drawn a lot of criticism on their part and sparked a lot of conversation.
Many are outraged by the hard fouls that Clark has endured through the first stretch of her pro career, and they believe she’s being targeted. Before the Indiana Fever vs. Washington Mystics game on Friday, Clark handled questions about it with class.
Caitlin Clark doesn’t need an apology from WNBA rivals
Clark was initially asked if she thought she was owed an apology from Chennedy Carter, the Chicago Sky player who fouled her off-the-ball in a recent game, which triggered the whole discourse.
Clark simply stated “no“, before going on to compliment Carter on how well she’s been playing this season. She mentioned a couple of times that “it’s just basketball“.
The former Iowa star clearly isn’t too bothered by it all, which might surprise some. But at the end of the day, she’s a gamer and just wants to play the sport she loves.
