Doris Burke and Mike Breen were on the call for ESPN on the night, and the former would make a joke about the WNBA rookie during the broadcast.
At one point in the game, P.J. Washington pulled Kristaps Porzingis to the floor after wrapping his arms around the Celtics big man.
“If that were Caitlin Clark, it might spark a debate for a week,” Burke quipped, getting a laugh out of Breen.
