On Thursday night, Caitlin Clark made her regular-season home debut with the Indiana Fever after she was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft last month. But her debut did not exactly go as planned as the Fever suffered a blowout loss to the New York Liberty with Clark failing to even reach double-digits in scoring. Clark was visibly frustrated throughout the game, and now that earned her some harsh criticism.
Throughout the game, Caitlin Clark was visibly angry and frustrated and was seen yelling at officials. Basketball personality TJ Keasal saw a video of Clark’s antics during the game, and she was not pleased with the scene on the court from the rookie sensation.
“Yoooooo this is wild body language!! The only way she’s comfortable acting this way is because it was accepted and coddled in college. You can’t be considered the [GOAT] as these fans believe and not be able to stomach you won’t get soft whistles. It’s the pros. Adjust the attitude,” Keasal said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Obviously, Clark was frustrated, but she’ll have to learn to have better composure on the court.
