Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides isn’t holding back regarding the physical play directed toward rookie star Caitlin Clark. She vented her frustrations in Saturday’s postgame interview over the physical treatment Caitlin Clark had been subjected to during the game.“We’re just going to keep sending these possessions to the league, and these plays, and hopefully they’ll start, you know, taking a better look at some of the things that we see happening, or we think is happening,” Sides said. “Just more happy that Caitlin handled it the way she did. You know, it’s tough to keep getting hammered the way she does and to not get rewarded with free throws or foul calls. She’s continued to fight through that. Appreciate that from her. Really, really proud of her for doing that.”

Fever coach Christie Sides made these statements after Clark and veteran player Chennedy Carter had a heated exchange in a game against the Chicago Sky. As Clark tried to inbound the ball, Carter gave her an apparent shoulder check. While the play only resulted in a common foul call, it ignited a conversation about the physicality Clark has faced throughout her rookie season.

Later, when questioned about the incident, Carter answered “next question” and chose not to discuss the foul.

“It is what it is,” Clark said. “I feel like I’m just at the point where you accept it and don’t retaliate. … I’m trying not to let it bother me.”

Clark had a rough go of it after making her first two 3-pointers; she finished with 11 points, eight boards, and six assists.
