Not for the first time this season, Caitlin Clark found herself on the end of some brutal defensive work in the WNBA on Wednesday night.
Indiana Fever hosted the Connecticut Sun – in front of the likes of Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas – and Clark once again broke records in her rookie year.
It was not all plain sailing for the Fever phenom though, after she was caught by a hefty bodycheck and sent crashing to the court during the game.
The violent move came from Connecticut center Alyssa Thomas, and was called a common foul – leaving fans fuming and asking why it wasn’t upgraded to a flagrant.
‘That’s not basketball,’ one wrote on X, while another added: ‘Cheap shot leaning in with the shoulder.’

Clark has twice been the victim of flagrant fouls this season – and both of which came against the same opponent in the Chicago Sky.
The first was a check from Chennedy Carter, and the second from Angel Reese – another rookie that has become Clark’s big rival in their debut season.
Aside from the play that saw her left sprawled out on the court in Indiana, it was a successful night for Clark and the rest of her Fever teammates.

The No 1 overall pick broke the WNBA rookie single-season record for three-pointers made, sealing her 86th of the year in the first quarter.
The record was previously held by Rhyne Howard, and set in 2022, but Clark is continuing to dominate the league in her first year with the Indiana Fever.
The Fever went on to win the game 84-80, leaving them sitting seventh overall in the WNBA standings with a 15-16 record.
