Indiana Fever WNBA star Caitlin Clark
WNBA (DR)

While she made her debut in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark was nevertheless targeted by her opponents. Big nonsense for this former player, who is especially angry with his teammates.

Highly anticipated for her WNBA debut, Caitlin Clark was able to meet expectations with some big matches, despite the Fever’s complicated record (2-8).

We will have to give this team time to rebuild, but Clark’s drafting is excellent news for the future. However, be careful to protect the player well in the future.

It must be said that since she arrived in the league, the full-back has been widely targeted by her opponents on the pitch.

The person concerned regularly receives blows during screens or offensive actions, like the controversy this Saturday after yet another shameful sequence.

Draymond Green even reacted, believing that the Fever should protect Clark in the future .

Clark controversy, an old man gets annoyed

Beyond the already shameful low blow, we quickly notice that no one comes to defend Clark or try to avenge her.

The players are passive and that’s a problem for a lot of fans, including Matt Barnes.

In a recent video shared on social media, the former Clipper blames others for doing nothing.

Matt Barnes : “The big topic at the moment is obviously Caitlin Clark, who took a low blow against the Sky. Since the start of the season, she has taken a beating.

On the screens, a few nudges, that’s how it is. It’s not the first and it won’t be the last. My problem and question is where are her teammates? Where the hell is the rest of the Fever? »

“I saw a few girls smiling when she was on the ground. You must protect the asset, the star of the team. It must be constantly protected.

Kobe, CP, Blake, it was my job. It’s going to be a problem for them. Why are they at the bottom of the league? Because they don’t protect each other. »

The Fever don’t look like much of a team today, and the treatment allowed against Caitlin Clark is a perfect example of that.

Let’s hope that Saturday’s incident allows for an update in the locker room, or the Fever will face big risks in the future.

Matt Barnes highlights an interesting point here, with players not trying to protect Caitlin Clark, the squad’s best asset. And if this continues, it could become quite a problem.
