Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was once again involved in a heated exchange that went viral during her team's win against the Atlanta Dream Thursday (May 22) night.
Dream guard Rhyne Howard fouled Clark, who retaliated by pushing her shoulder into her chest, which resulted in a heated exchange before teammates separated them, at which point Clark was seen mouthing, "I'm not scared of you" back at Howard.
Howard argued with officials that the call should've been on Clark, but no additional calls were made. The incident came days after Clark was involved in a heated exchange with Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
Clark attempted a take foul on Reese, wrapping her arms around her front and back on a layup attempt, during the third quarter, which resulted in Reese falling to the ground before getting up and immediately confronting Clark before Fever forward Aliyah Boston separated them. The play was later upgraded to a flagrant 1, with Boston and Reese both getting offsetting technical fouls.
Clark finished Thursday's game with a season-low 11 points and 36.4 field goal percentage, while going 0-5 on 3-point attempts. Clark entered Thursday's game averaging 23.5 points per game and shooting 47.4% during her first two games.
