Caitlin rescued in time
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) questions a call in the second half of a WNBA basketball game against the Dallas Wings in IndianapolisAP
In a match that promised action and drama, fans were treated to something few could have anticipated. As Fever and Wings squared off on the court, all eyes were on one of the most anticipated players of the night – Caitlin Clark. With her precision, energy and competitive nature, Clark was ready to make her mark on this match. But what no one expected was the most controversial play of the match, and how a star’s fate hung in the balance.
It all happened in an instant. As the game sped along, the flow of the match was interrupted by an unexpected whistle. A foul. Not just any foul, but a “BS” foul, as they say in basketball street parlance. That decision by the referee, many said, seemed out of nowhere and sparked immediate reactions both on the court and in the stands. The cameras panned to Clark, who was trying to remain calm, but the frustration was evident on his face. At that point, the game seemed to come to a complete halt, with tension palpable between the teams.
Caitlin Clark unexpectedly rescued by her ‘guardians’
As some players discussed the decision, two other figures emerged in Clark’s defense, though not in words. Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, without making much noise, strategically positioned themselves to restrain an upset Caitlin, a protective shield against what could have been her seventh technical foul in the WNBA regular season earning her a one-game suspension.
As the referee continued to deliberate, her teammates moved shrewdly, seeking to calm things down and keep Clark away from the referees to save the rookie from a game suspension.
Attentive fans in the stands shared videos on social media, where talk of this unexpected “prevention team” began to spread. The way Boston and Mitchell took control of the situation, protecting their star teammate, speaks to something much deeper in the Fever team: a camaraderie that has been brewing throughout the season and an “all for one” mentality to go as far as possible.
In the end, what appeared to be a questionable refereeing decision didn’t turn into a tragedy for Caitlin Clark. But that wasn’t by chance. It was thanks to the cunning and teamwork of two of the smartest players on the court.
Indiana Fever (20-19) secured the sixth seed and will finish the regular season with a winning record for the first time since 2015. While waiting to find out her opponent in the first round of the playoffs, Caitlin Clark gets the support of her teammates to avoid committing her seventh technical foul and get out of a one-game suspension in her first year in the WNBA.
