Caitlin Clark and Victoria Vivians confronted off throughout an Indiana Fever vs Seattle Storm basketball sport on Thursday, May 30.
The bickering went down as soon as Caitlin made a bucket to make a 3-point shot when she by accident ran into the Seattle rival when heading again to defend.
Though it’s unclear why the 2 bought heated, the Fever athlete’s teammate Aliyah — whom Caitlin expressed she seemed ahead to working with the second she bought drafted into the WNBA — needed to come to the rescue to separate her.
Indiana ended up dropping to Seattle by 15 factors, 103-88. The newly launched WNBA participant was solely capable of present 19 factors, 9 assists, 3 rebounds, and seven turnovers.
“The third quarter was when we lost the game…I just thought our defensive rotations were bad. … It’s not really about our offense. It was our defense. You’re not going to win a basketball game giving up 103,” expressed Caitlin.
This loss comes shortly after she was launched into the Women’s National Basketball Association in February as an alternative of staying an additional 12 months at school. After being the primary total choose within the 2024 draft, reported by ESPN, Caitlin shared “When you’re just sitting at a table waiting for your name to be called, that really allows the emotions to feed you…You’re with your family. Obviously, playing a basketball game, I’m not out there with my family. So sharing that moment with them and enjoying it, and people that have really had my back and believed in me more than anyone, is super special.”
Alongside many huge title gamers within the school realm like Cameron Brink — Golden State Warrior Steph Curry’s god daughter — Kamilla Cardoso, Angel Reese, and extra have been drafted as effectively. “This is a generational class…I feel like this class is just so different. I know this class is different. … Women’s basketball is on an uproar. Everybody is tuning in. … I’m grateful to be a part of this draft class. I feel like we’re just trending in the right direction,” stated the fourth total choose within the draft, Rickea Jackson.
