WNBA fans argue referees missed blatant foul against Caitlin Clark as  surging Fever extend winning streak | Fox News

Basketball fans are losing their minds after a clear foul on Caitlin Clark went uncalled during the Indiana Fever-Seattle Storm WNBA game on Wednesday night.

Caitlin Clark and the Fever fell just short of picking up their first win of the young 2024 WNBA season losing 85-83 to the home team in a back-and-forth thriller. With the loss, Indiana fell to 0-5, while the Storm improved to 2-3.

However, there was one notable instance during the contest when the officials failed to call a clear-cut foul while Clark was driving to the basket. Check out the clip below, where Seattle forward Ezi Magbegor gets away with an obvious foul during Clark’s layup attempt:


After this clip went viral, fans expressed disgust with the officials for somehow missing the foul that took away two possible points from Caitlin Clark:

The highest scorer in the history of Division 1 NCAA basketball was taken first overall by the Fever in last month’s WNBA Draft. Clark has lived up to the hype in the early going, averaging an impressive 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.

Clark had her best performance as a pro in Wednesday’s loss to Seattle, recording 21 points, seven rebounds and as many assists. She made 7-of-9 free throw attempts and also recorded two blocks.

The 0-5 Fever will again try to pick up their first win of the year when they visit the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night. Indiana will then wrap up its difficult road trip with a showdown against the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday night.

Indiana will then come back to the Midwest for a three-game homestand that begins against Los Angeles on Tuesday. They will then host the Storm in a rematch from last night’s tilt before hosting the Chicago Sky to conclude the home stand.
