The WNBA appears to be taking action following the altercation between Caitlin Clark and a fan during Wednesday night’s game.
In the first quarter of the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Connecticut Sun, play was briefly halted as Clark pointed out a fan to the referees. Security approached a man wearing a collared shirt and lanyard for a conversation. Video circulated of Clark telling teammate NaLyssa Smith about the incident. The WNBA issued a statement condemning racist, threatening, or derogatory comments towards players and teams.
They stated that appropriate measures, potentially involving law enforcement, would be taken to address any threats. The exact words exchanged between the fan and Clark are unknown, but the WNBA aims to prevent similar incidents in the future. Clark and the Fever were eliminated from the playoffs with a loss to the Suns.
