Story summary
During the Indiana Fever’s end-of-season press conference on Saturday, Kelsey Mitchell commented that her and her teammates receive criticism due to being associated with Caitlin Clark, who draws significant attention. These comments reached Clark, making her "upset." At her own presser earlier in the week, Clark addressed the issue, stating she cares deeply about her teammates and does not want them to experience such negativity.
Clark acknowledged that while increased scrutiny has brought many positive outcomes, it also exposes her to negative aspects like racist rhetoric. She condemned this behavior and expressed feelings of disappointment whenever she encounters hate directed at her or others associated with her. Despite the tension created by Mitchell’s comments, Clark emphasized the importance of having Mitchell on the team for next season, particularly as Mitchell is a pending free agent.
