Caitlin Clark spotted in new video ‘arguing’ with Indiana Fever coach as WNBA fans fear for star after season struggles
Clark addressed her lack of involvement in Indiana’s offense in crunchtime after the game

Emotions ran high as the Fever blew a 15-point lead to suffer their 11th loss of the season.

Clark, 22, was featured in Indiana’s offense down the stretch on Sunday.
The No. 1 overall pick made just one shot and registered one assist in the last six minutes of play.
The 6-foot point guard made a pass instead of shooting the ball on what looked like the last two possessions of the game.
But the referees ruled that Kristy Wallace fouled Kamila Cardoso before the buzzer rang, granting the Sky two free throws and putting 0.5 seconds back on the clock.
During the officials’ review, Clark appeared to be questioning some of Sides’ gameplan late in the game.
The ex-Iowa standout extended her right arm as she was making her point, as caught by ESPN cameras.
And when Sides, 47, responded, she threw up her arms in exasperation.
Many WNBA fans were alarmed by the exchange.
“I hate that it looks like CC is the only one fighting back,” one posted on X.
“CC telling Sides you drawing some bad plays lol,” another wrote.
“Caitlin doesn’t look happy; that’s for sure,” a third said.
“Goodbye Sides, you arguing with the wrong one,” one added.
After Cardoso missed both of her free throws, the Fever had just 0.2 seconds to salvage the game.
Clark was the in-bound passer, throwing a lob to 6-foot-4 forward NaLyssa Smith – but the two failed to connect.
How the WNBA works
THE 2024 WNBA season features 12 teams with the regular-season running from May 14 to September 9.
Each team plays 40 regular-season games – four against five teams from the same conference and two teams from the other conference, and three games against the remaining four teams.
The top eight teams in the league standings qualify for the playoffs – regardless of what conference they’re in.
The playoffs will use a best-of-three format in the first round while the semifinals and WNBA Finals are best of five.
This season also includes a month-long break for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Las Vegas Aces are defending back-to-back WNBA champions.
The Fever guard ended up with 17 points, six rebounds, a career-high 13 assists, and four steals.
After the game, she downplayed her lack of shooting in crunchtime.
“I’m sure there was an opportunity or two for me to probably attempt another shot there at the end, but I trust my teammates,” the Fever rookie said.
“Obviously 13 assists, that means my teammates scored off of 13 of my passes.
“It’s a really great number so I’m going to give them the ball every time. Give them an opportunity to score. I believe in them.”
Meanwhile, Sides appeared to blame Clark’s lack of involvement on her playmaker’s decision-making.
“I never want her to not be aggressive and take shots,” the Fever head coach said.
Clark has had a tough start to the season, struggling with physical defense and turning the ball over at a high rate.
In her first 18 WNBA games, she averaged 16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists nad 5.6 turnovers.
