At last, Caitlin Clark shares her most challenging NBA moment: We were in New York when I tore my eardrum.
The Indiana Fever star has been subjected to harsh treatment.
Following her transition from collegiate basketball to the WNBA, Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark has faced several physical obstacles.
Because of her actions in the NCAA, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has drawn more attention, which has led to her being mistreated by opponents.
Angel Reese, Chennedy Carter’s teammate, struck her in the face as a result of a Flagrant-1 foul called on her during their match against the Chicago Sky.
The 22-year-old has never been one to grumble and has just gone about her work, but after hurting her ear, she has now disclosed the full degree of the harm caused by those screens.
Caitlin Clark has endured a difficult ride since making the step up from college basketball to the WNBA, with the Indiana Fever star finding herself on the end of some physical challenges.
The No.1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has attracted special attention for her exploits in the NCAA and it has resulted in opposition players giving her rough treatment.
Chennedy Carter was punished for a Flagrant-1 foul on her during their game against the Chicago Sky, while her team-mate Angel Reese hit her in the face.
The 22-year-old hasn’t been one to complain and has simply got on with the job, but she has finally revealed the extent of the injuries suffered from those screens after injuring her ear.
“Honestly, I’ve been popped on a couple of screens, I actually ruptured my ear drum when we were in New York on a tough screen,” Clark said, speaking to reporters ahead of the Fever‘s game against Atlanta Dream.
“So, if I have to pick one right now, it’d probably be that. Great screens, I just didn’t hear them. So, it’s kind of my own fault.”
