The WNBA community hasn’t exactly been eager to welcome Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark into the league. Perhaps because she’s not outspoken politically, because she’s more popular than any other women’s basketball player has ever been, or maybe just because she’s a soft-spoken white girl from the Midwest, the majority of leftist leaders in the league have been quick to attack Clark at every turn. Well, one of the biggest critics to do so, star Diana Taurasi, was served her just deserts on Sunday by none other than Clark herself.
And to make the revenge story even more satisfying, did so in stunning fashion — by nearly recording her first-ever triple-double despite suffering from a migraine in a win over Taurasi’s Phoenix Mercury. The Fever won 88-82, according to , and Clark was doing a little of everything (or rather, of everything). The rookie phenom scored 15 points, dished out 12 assists and pulled in 9 rebounds.
And she did it all with a persistent migraine, as her coach was quick to point out after the game. Clark has a migraine, per the team. Clark has suffered with migraines throughout her whole college career, nearly always playing through them — Chloe Peterson (@chloepeterson67) It sure was good to see Clark prove one of her biggest haters, Taurasi, wrong in such stunning fashion.
For those who may not remember, Taurasi came after Clark when the latter was still playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA Women’s Basketball tournament. Taurasi.
