Caitlin Clark drops F-bombs at official while arguing Fever weren't getting the same whistle as Valkyries

Caitlin Clark has seen enough...

The Fever star got in an official's face during Wednesday night's home game against the Golden State Valkyries after a no-call appeared to send her over the edge.

On the trip down the floor before the confrontation, Clark drove to the basket and appeared to be shoved by Golden State veteran Kiah Stokes while attempting a layup. No foul was called.

Moments later, with 4:20 remaining in the second quarter, officials whistled a foul on an Indiana teammate.

Clark immediately turned toward the referee, yelling from close range and dropping some F-bombs to argue that the Fever weren’t getting the same whistle at the other end.

Despite the heated exchange, Clark was not assessed a technical foul.

The rough first half extended beyond the officiating. Clark went into halftime with just two points on 1-of-5 shooting, along with two rebounds and two assists. Before tipoff, Clark acknowledged she would be on a minutes restriction as she continues working her way back from injury under coach Stephanie White's plan.

She later headed to the locker room after appearing to limp during the second quarter but returned to the bench before halftime to support her teammates.

"Caitlin Clark should've stayed in the locker room. I'm so tired of her," one critic wrote on X.

Another added, "Watching Caitlin Clark play is like watching a toddler have a tantrum."

During the pregame media session, Clark was asked about handling the constant attention surrounding her. "There's gonna be people that love you, there's gonna be people that hate you. It probably means you're doing something right. None of that really affects me," Clark said.

"You know, not every one of you is gonna like me, and I understand that, and you know, that's okay. ... You gotta have thick skin to be in a position like this, and I think I have that too."

She added, "I love you guys, but at the end of the day, if you don't like me, my life's still gonna go on."
