Footage of ‘snitch’ WNBA star trying to get Caitlin Clark in trouble goes viral

Caitlin Clark was the center of attention once again during Indiana Fever’s game against Seattle Sparks – despite only being a spectator on the night.

The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was ruled out of the fixture after suffering a groin injury and was forced to watch on as the Sparks ran out 85-75 winners.

It was the sixth game that Clark has been forced to miss during the season as questions over her availability for the Fever continue to crop up.

While she wasn’t able to make an impact on the court, she did step foot on it – much to the frustrations of Sparks star Kelsey Plum.

Fan footage from the game has since gone viral as eagle-eyed supporters noticed the moment Plum alerted officials to the fact Clark had stepped onto the court.

Plum could be seen pointing towards Clark and calling for the referee to dish out a technical foul to the injured Fever star.

Clark – who stood with her arms spread wide in a gesture that signified her confusion at Plum’s pleas – was not punished by the officials for the incident.

It appeared that it was, in fact, a light-hearted interaction between the two WNBA star given that, afterwards, both stars were seen smiling.

Responding to the viral video, one fan wrote: ‘Kelsey and CC are always giving each other a hard time’.

‘She was being a snitch’, another wrote as they took aim at Plum for her actions.

However, another user then said: ‘What’s sad is many won’t understand that this was a joke’.

Indiana Fever star Clark has dominated the WNBA since being drafted into the league last year, however has endured some hardship in recent weeks.

The 23-year-old had her worst game of the season on Tuesday against the Seattle Storm, scoring just six points on 3 of 13 shooting with eight turnovers.

And while she’s scoring just a point less (18.2 per contest) than her rookie year, Clark’s efficiency has plunged in her first nine games this season.
