Caitlin Clark mocking Julie Vanloo’s flopping gets called out by DiJonai Carrington as double standards (Image Credit: Caitlin Clark, Julie Vanloo and DiJoinai Carrington’s Instagram)
The WNBA matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Washington Mystics didn’t go the way Caitlin Clark envisioned.
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.”

Carrington had previously mocked Clark by pretending to flop during their June 10 meeting.
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.”
Caitlin Clark on the AB-Dolson challenge play in the 3rd & what was said to the refs: “I mean *pauses* I don’t know, I guess they saw something differently… we have to find a way to be able to move on… like yeah, we didn’t get the call, but we need a stop right now”
