Fans Saying the Same Thing About Caitlin Clark After Fever’s Loss Against Sparks originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever came crashing back down to earth on Saturday night after a tough home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, 89-87.
Indiana entered this game on a three-game winning streak, which included Tuesday’s Commissioner’s Cup championship win against the Minnesota Lynx. That run came to an end on Saturday, though, after the Fever gave up another fourth-quarter lead en route to their ninth loss of the season.
Caitlin Clark watched this game from the bench again as the newly crowned WNBA All-Star Game captain sat out for a fifth consecutive game with a lingering groin injury. After the game, Fever fans on social media could not help but point out how badly this team is missing their best player on the court.
“That was a panicked team at the end. Needed CC badly,” a comment on X read.
“we need caitlin to come back healthy and the fever needs more height asap bruhhh 💔” another said.
“We winning the ones we shouldn’t and losing the ones we should win. Go figure. Hope we get Caitlin back next game,” a fan posted.
“The Sparks run like the Fever, this is where a healthy Clark makes the difference,” a reaction read.
“I was told they play better without CC🤷🏾” another said.
“Team is pathetic blowing ANOTHER 6 point lead with 3 minutes to go. But yeah they are totally better without Clark on the floor,” a user wrote.
As sensed in the sarcasm in a couple of the reactions above, the fans clearly do not agree with the notion that the Fever are a more dangerous side without Clark, despite what some analysts might say.
Indiana will get a chance to get back to winning ways on Wednesday when it returns to action against the Golden State Valkyries in another home game. However, whether Clark suits up for that one or not remains uncertain at this point.
