SHOCKING! Caitlin Clark Calls Out Fan After Exchanging Shoves with DeWanna Bonner Fever vs Sun Game
Indiana Fever star Caitlyn Clark pointed out a fan to referees during her team’s first-round road playoff game against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday evening. The officials then spoke with security, who removed the fan from his seat.
This incident came after Clark appeared to exchange words with Sun forward DeWanna Bonner. The two got into it earlier in the game when Clark felt Bonner didn’t give her enough space to land after she took a three-pointer. No foul was called. The Sun entered Wednesday leading the best-of-three series one game to zero after taking the opener Sunday, 93-69.
ESPN cameras caught the fan speaking; it’s not immediately clear what he did to draw Clark’s and later security’s attention. After the incident, Clark was asked about the chippy first quarter. ESPN captured the fan speaking to security after being taken away from his seat; however, he was quickly allowed to return.
Herald Scott Agnes of Fieldhouse Files reported that Clark was named the Associated Press unanimous Rookie of the Year after leading all first-year players in numerous categories, including scoring (19.2 PPG), assists (8.4 APG), and steals (1.3 SPG). She also paced the WNBA in assists (337) and three-point field goals made (122). The ex-Iowa star helped the Fever break a streak of seven straight losing seasons outside the playoffs, guiding the team to a 20-22 mark and the number six seed.
Now, after a strong third quarter, Clark scored 10 points and has already recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 assists. She’s on triple-double watch again, with five rebounds. She has helped the Sun maintain their lead over Indiana despite Caitlyn Clark hitting the 20-point mark.
