Clark Targeted Again: Fever Coach pushes for a Response from the WNBA

After Caitlin Clark was shoved, punched in the neck and stepped on during the Fever’s 111-109 loss to Phoenix, with no calls from officials, Fever coach Stephanie White blasted the referees and the league as disrespectful, saying Clark faced two cheap shots and should defend herself if the officials won’t. The piece argues Clark has been targeted by peers across the league, notes her exit with a back injury, and frames this as a turning point prompting the league to protect Clark or for her to push back publicly, a stance supported by other players and commentators.
