Tensions flared when Clark shoved the Mystics’ Julie Vanloo as she tried to break free for a pass. The Fever rookie also suggested that Vanloo had flopped.
Vanloo argued that she felt a hit to the chin during the first contact which then resulted in more pushing from the rookie’s end.
The incident caught the attention of the Connecticut Sun’s DiJonai Carrington on social media.
She argued that the response to Clark’s gesture wasn’t as strong as when the Sun guard did it towards the rookie.
“But I’m a racist, jealous, coon, monkey, hating a** b***h who needs to go back to Africa when I do it huh?” Carrington asked. “Please. Like I said, this is basketball.”

Caitlin Clark on the missed opportunity for a comeback victory against the Washington Mystics
After the Fever’s disappointing 84-80 loss to Washington, Caitlin Clark highlighted a key moment in the game, around the 4:25 mark in the third quarter. The Mystics’ challenge on the blocking foul assessed to Stefanie Dolson was ruled successful, which resulted in a momentum shift.
In her postgame comments, Clark pointed out the growing pains of the team and the need to handle opposing runs better.
“We have to find a way to be able to move on from that,” Clark said. “Yeah, we didn’t get a call but we need to stop right now … like we weren’t out of it by any means and then we let it blown to a 20-plus game. It is what it is. … Whatever they see on the videos is what they’re going to call, but I believe we could have responded a little better.”
After the successful challenge, Washington went on a 10-0 run and two-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston received her fifth foul.
Caitlin Clark finished with a double-double of 29 points (50.0% shooting, including 55.6% from 3-point range) and 13 assists. She also added five rebounds, five steals and three blocks.
