the Indiana Fever are finally gelling this season. Heading into Sunday’s primetime matchup against the Chicago Sky, Indiana is experiencing their first four-game win steak since 2015.
On June 22, the Fever once again closed out practice with players attempting half-court shots. Fans were thrilled to see center Temi Fagbenle make an attempt, as she’s been out with a foot injury since late May.
While Fagbenle celebrated making the incredibly difficult shot, Fever guard Caitlin Clark wasn’t having it. While the team’s official X account gave her the basket, Clark did not
“She crossed the line,” Clark yelled while make a no-good gesture with her arms. “She crossed the line!”
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick, is admittedly one of the most competitive people in league. While some viewers agreed with Clark, “Released it after she crossed,” one man posted, not everyone was thrilled to see the rookie call out her teammate during a fun contest.
One fan posted, “Temi’s like ‘and now I want to sit back and relax and enjoy my halfcourt shot when all of a sudden I hear this agitating, grating voice.’”
Sabrina Lonescu, Star Player For The New York Liberty, Was Unexpectedly Criticized With A Questionable Shot As Caitlin Clark Controversy Brews.
Much has been made of Caitlin Clark and her behavior during games, and now Sabrina Ionescu is catching heat because of it.
The New York Liberty guard is being put under a microscope after she visibly showed her frustration in a game against the Minnesota Lynx.
One 13-second video posted to X shows Sabrina Ionescu turning the ball over after dribbling to the basket, but then she turns to a teammate and starts yelling at her.
With 20 seconds to go in the game, Ionescu gets open for a three-pointer but then airballs as the team was down six.
The caption on the video mentions her temper and how Caitlin Clark would’ve been blasted if she had done something similar.
This is less about Sabrina Ionescu and more about Caitlin Clark and how she got blasted for showing frustration with her teammate Kristy Wallace during the Indiana Fever’s narrow 88-87 loss to the Chicago Sky.
Clark is seen calling for the ball, but Wallace takes a shot that ends up going in. However, Clark’s visible frustration does not end as she appeared to stare at her afterwards.
Clark’s anger likely has a lot to do with her leading the league in turnovers, which has a ton to do with her teammate’s inability to catch the basketball.
Sabrina Ionescu Further Became A Household Name After 3-Point Challenge Against Stephen Curry
New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu was a known player in the WNBA, but she certainly gained a ton more notoriety after she competed against Curry in a 3-point shooting contest at NBA All-Star weekend.
Curry is a two-time winner of the NBA’s 3-point challenge, and Ionescu won the 3-point contest at the WNBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas.
Curry caught fire just in time during that matchup and defeated Sabrina Ionescu in the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge, per ESPN.
Top NBA Draft Pick Drawing Creepy Comparisons To Caitlin Clark As Social Media Is Convinced He’s Her Twin
Caitlin Clark has a twin in the NBA, somehow.
Social media is convinced French center Alexandre Sarr is an exact Caitlin lookalike, although they’re of different ethnicities.
Sarr was drafted No. 2 overall by the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, with the team hopeful of having recruited the next big French star following Victor Wembanyama’s arrival in San Antonio last year.
It was obviously a big night for the center, who will look to make a name for himself in the NBA, but fans were only concerned with his facial features and were going off about how much he looks like Caitlin Clark.
Peep this…
“I’m mad cuz I can’t explain it but I also can’t disagree,” one fan wrote.
“Lmfaooo CANT UNSEE IT NOW,” another remarked.
“Can’t believe I’m cosigning this with a like+comment but when youre right youre right,” said a third.
“Like I’m scared rn why do they have the same face,” a user agreed.
Caitlin Clark’s Doppelganger Has Professional Experience
Alexandre Sarr, who hails from Bordeaux, France, played for the Perth Wildcats in Australia last year, so he has some experience playing professionally. It’s reported that he tried his best to remain on the board for the Wizards.
The 19-year-old was the projected No. 1 overall pick going into the Draft but refused to work out for the Atlanta Hawks, forcing them to pick Zaccharie Risacher instead.
With Washington having traded Deni Avdija to the Portland Trail Blazers, Sarr will have the chance to further develop his game. Going to the Hawks would have likely seen him playing in a system catering to Dejounte Murray and Trae Young.
The Frenchman averaged 9.4 points, 0.9 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game in 27 appearances for the Wildcats in the NBL last season.
He now has a chance to show what he can do in the most prestigious league in the world.
