There’s no question that Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is one of the faces of the WNBA. “You’ve seen players in our league try to toughen up Caitlin… even when I wasn’t on her team,” Cunningham said.

One of those incidents came earlier this year when Sun guard Marina Mabrey shoved Clark and received a technical foul, which the league later upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Jacy Sheldon hit Clark in the face on a steal attempt, and when Clark shoved Sheldon and turned her back, Mabrey entered the scuffle and pushed Clark to the ground.

WNBA Coach Involved in Caitlin Clark Incident Called a ‘Liar’ originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Still without Caitlin Clark, who has missed 14 games (including Commissioner's Cup championship) so far during the 2025 WNBA season, the Indiana Fever have improved to 14-12 and are in the midst of a two-game winning streak.
