Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will have the unfortunate task of facing the Connecticut Sun at least one more time during the 2024 season.

Aside from one game, the two other contests have been complete and utter blowouts.

The Connecticut Sun, one of the WNBA’s best teams, came into their next game with a 9-1 record and had very little trouble dealing with Caitlin Clark and the 3-9 Indiana Fever at Mohegan Sun Arena.

After defeating the Fever, Sun guard DiJonai Carrington, who openly mocked Clark after fouling her on the perimeter in the second quarter, was asked if the Sun changed up the way they guarded Clark the third time around.

“I think the scout was similar to the last time,” Carrington said when asked about the Sun’s defensive strategy. “We switched some things up. It was a lot of one-on-one. We didn’t trap as much.”

Teammate Tyasha Harris would soon chime in with her own blunt response.

“It’s seat belt season for her,” Harris told reporters.

That was a clear jab to Clark, who went 3 of 8 from the field for 10 points. It was her fourth-fewest points scored of the season, per ESPN.com.

During the game, Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington had a viral moment with Clark as she flailed her head back and forth to show that she flopped and sold a foul call during the game.

Clark could be seen looking back and holding her arms out in confusion but didn’t really respond to the antics.

Caitlin Clark Misses Out On 2024 Olympics

USA Basketball made the controversial decision not to have Caitlin Clark on the U.S. women’s Olympic roster.

This is the first time in Olympic history that the U.S. women’s basketball team doesn’t feature a player under the age of 25 on the roster.

Clark wasn’t the only talented player left off the team, but she was arguably the most famous.

REPORT: Surprising New Candidate Has Suddenly Emerged Out Of Nowhere For The Los Angeles Lakers Head Coaching Job

More bad news for JJ Redick, as after Dan Hurley, another college basketball phenom, Jay Wright, entered the chat to vie for the vacant Los Angeles Lakers HC job. Since the firing of Darvin Ham following the Lakers’ first-round exit, Redick led the race to land the job, but within a space of 72 hours, he is now drifting far from it.

Jay Wright, the 2-time NCAA championship-winning coach, has emerged as a “stealth candidate” for the coveted job. As per Marc Stein, the former Villanova HC has an outside chance to land the job if the Lakers decide to move away from Hurley due to his commitment to UConn. “I had been warned early on by one well-placed insider, for what it’s worth, to stay ready in case former Villanova coach Jay Wright emerged as a stealth candidate,” the NBA insider said.

After finishing his 21-year stint with Villanova, Wright left the coaching role in 2022. Since then, he has been linked with several high-profile jobs in the NBA, but this is the most recent about him. If Dan Hurley remains with the Huskies after delivering back-to-back NCAA championships, Wright could be a viable option for the Lakers.

With Hurley setting a deadline for his Lakers decision, it’s a guessing game around the vacant seat.
