Heated Moment as Caitlin Clark Confronts Referee During Game

After the Indiana Fever's narrow 81-80 loss to the Dallas Wings on Tuesday night, injured star Caitlin Clark was seen confronting a WNBA official. This intense exchange was caught on camera shortly after the game concluded in Indianapolis. With less than two seconds left on the clock, guard Kelsey Mitchell launched a three-pointer to secure a potential win for the Fever, but the shot hit the backboard, allowing the struggling Wings to claim their eleventh victory of the season. While the Wings celebrated their road win, Clark—out for approximately a month due to a groin injury—approached referee Amy Bonner to express her frustration. ESPN footage showed Clark visibly upset as the official gestured toward the Fever's bench. Other players from the Fever shared concerns about officiating as well. Following the game, head coach Stephanie White criticized what she described as a “double standard” in officiating. This loss places the Fever at a record of 18-15, positioning them sixth in the WNBA standings.
