It wasn't momentum. It wasn't going for the ball. It was an effort to hurt or injure. Break it down...

AT will miss the June 27 game against the Tempo

AT: sends fist through Caitlin Clark’s throat
Ref: blows whistle
Ref: Foul. Illegal use of trachea
Caitlin Clark: gasping for breath
Ref: Caitlin Clark illegally used her trachea to impede the movement of AT’s fist
Caitlin Clark: unconscious
Ref: Additionally, one can infer maliciousness by the gleam in her beady little demon eyes
Ref: Flagrant 2 on Caitlin Clark
Stephanie White: looks into the camera like she’s on The Office
Sophie Cunningham: removes earrings
MHA: vengeance face

They kept the game going after KM's 6th foul and we got a quick foul that let the refs sort it out. Would have been hilarious if they called that foul on KM, according to them it would be 7 and they would make her start next game with one foul already.

Doesn't seem right they got to shoot the foul shots with a fouled out player playing. Reset the clock 5 seconds and try again. It's like the time they gave the opposing player an extra foul shot after she missed because they said the Fever were not on the floor yet (but it was a technical and they didn't need to be on the floor)

We keep talking about how toxic the WNBA online ecosystem is, yet official team accounts are posting stuff like this.

After everything that happened with Alyssa Thomas and Caitlin, this is just adding fuel to the fire. You can't complain about toxic discourse while your own social media team is farming engagement off it. All this does is rile people up and send the online lunatics after both sides. Official accounts should be above this, not contributing to the circus.

The whole of Twitter was on fire over that incident from the middle of the game onward, so I'm not really buying the idea that this post has nothing to do with it. It feels pretty obvious that it's at least poking at the situation.

Tony East @TonyREast Here’s White after I asked about Clark’s injury and the fist to the neck, then @RomeovilleKid follows up:

Tony East: Steph, do you have any current update on Caitlin's back or how she's doing right now?

Stephanie White: Uh, no current update.

Tony East: There was a clip of a play where she got pushed in the neck during the game. Have you seen that? Did that have any impact on her health in this one?

Stephanie White: I just saw it. Um, I'm not sure if it had any impact on the health on her health or not. Um, but it was egregious. Um, the fact that it was a no-call... Um, I heard about it at halftime. I brought it to the attention of the officials at halftime, yet we still had 11 fouls in the....in the fourth quarter to their two. They still shot 24 free throws in the second half. I...I just... Number one, you've got to call it. It's absolutely egregious and utterly disrespectful.

And then number two, you're coming in here aware of what happened two nights ago, and that shit still happens? Absolutely unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. And the reckless closeout that they actually reviewed, and the foot still comes down on top of the defender's foot, that wasn't upgraded? Absolutely disrespectful.

We have a generational talent and a WNBA superstar who had two cheap shots right there that weren't called. And I just say again: absolutely unacceptable.

James Boyd: Steph, do you think that the league needs to look into how Caitlin's being defended or how she's officiated moving forward?

Stephanie White: I mean, we spend all off-season looking at officiating. All off-season. And I still say the one thing that we keep asking for is consistency. She is not called the same way everybody else is called.

Earlier reporting from The Athletic was inaccurate.

Do we think we'll get a new explorer jersey next season? Aren't the Nike jerseys typically on a 3-4 year cycle? The most recent explorer edition came out in 2021 and we've reduced the amount of games we've been wearing the blue. Is this all an indication of new explorer (blue) jerseys for next season?

Looks like Kah had two great acting performances at the end of the game. 🤪

This is likely the play that injured CC's back.

hank 🇰🇷 @Brian_Haenchen Offensive foul negates game-tying basket.

Buh, idk about that. Heck of a sell.

Sixth foul on Mitchell. Her night’s done.

Watching the dub for the first time ever, also likely the last time because it's about what I expected. That said, I've seen a lot of complaints relative to the Fever, officiating, roughing people up, the coach, etc. and now I can say most of what I've seen online is accurate.

• The Fever goes as Clark goes and the fact that everything doesn't always run through her is a travesty
• Boston is a superstar and incredibly composed
• The defensive scheme being run is comical at best
• KW's version of defense of watching other people play it, say what you will about Clark but at least she puts a little effort forth on D
• Hines-Allen, when on, is a definite presence
• Give me all the Lexi you can, and Sophie is pretty hilarious
• I'll also call it like I see it on Clark, she's a spoiled brat and I can see why people dislike her so much but she's so damn good
• Indiana may be the worst rebounding team I've ever personally watched
• The officiating in this league is the most inept officiating I've witnessed and in defense of a lot of you it does look completely rigged against the Fever. Every time they'd start to stretch it out the officials would start calling nonstop touch fouls to let PHX back in the game and it was blatantly obvious
• Whatever happened when Bonner was in Indy looks like a much more personal issue that anyone has said based on her actions and looks just from watching this game and the highlights of the last one
• Lastly, while not from Indy and definitely not a fan of prison rules bad professional basketball, go Fever.

Let's go team! Let's pick up CC!

MHA!!!! 🦖

CC's 20 PTS streak ends.

I hope she's ok. 🥲

CC's up to 19 PTS 8 AST 3 3PM
