Caitlin Clark is spicy tonight.
2024 American League – Batting Average Leaderboards
Facing possibly being eliminated by Connecticut, Clark and the Indiana Fever were gearing up for a fight on Wednesday night.
They had no clue much of that fight would come from the stands.
One fan had to have been heckling Caitlin Clark too much, so she went over the referee, pointed the person out, and allowed them to handle things from there.
Security would soon be called, and a male fan was tapped on the shoulder. He was escorted from his seat and possibly out of the arena.
That is a lot of money to pay just to be kicked out of a WNBA playoff game.
Speaking to ESPN’s Holly Rowe before the second quarter started, Caitlin Clark was reminded of what happened, but she kept her focus on the task at hand rather than mentioning the incident with the fan.
“Stay focused on about what’s on the floor and for the other teammates that are right here with me,” Clark answered.
While the Fever started off strong in Game 2, the team has been missing shots on offense, and before you could blink, the Connecticut Sun would take the lead after being down early on.
For Clark and the Fever, Wednesday’s focus is solely on winning in Connecticut so they can force a Game 3 in Indiana and advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2015.
Caitlin Clark And The Indiana Fever Are Fighting To Stay Alive
Caitlin Clark is used to setting records and drawing in crowds, but she would rather win big games and not have her season ended so soon.
The Sun spoiled Clark’s WNBA playoff debut Sunday by routing the Fever 93-69 in Game 1.
Clark had a rough game as she scored just 11 points and missed 11 of her 13 3-point attempts.
She needs to be much better tonight.
