LAS VEGAS — Caitlin Clark recently found herself in hot water with the WNBA after a cheeky comment on social media. The star guard for the Indiana Fever, who is currently recovering from a right groin injury that has sidelined her for the playoffs, tweeted that “Refs couldn’t stop us” after her team’s victory against the Atlanta Dream in the first round.
The league didn’t take kindly to her post, issuing a $200 fine. Clark humorously shared the news, accompanied by laughing emojis, stating, “Got fined $200 for this lol… BENCH MOB WILL BE EVEN MORE ROWDY TOMORROW LETS GOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As the Fever gear up for their semifinal game against the Las Vegas Aces, her teammate Sophie Cunningham jumped in with support, joking about starting a GoFundMe to help Clark cover the fine, signaling a light-hearted team spirit amid the pressure of the playoffs.
It’s noteworthy that the WNBA usually keeps player fines under wraps, which adds an interesting layer to the incident.
As the Fever prepares for their game, fans are eager to see how the team rallies together, with or without their star player.
