Caitlin Clark’s teammates have come under fire again after the Chicago Sky defeated the Indiana Fever on Sunday night.
Christie Sides’ players were criticized by many people after a previous meeting between the two teams, when Chennedy Carter tackled Clark, the first overall pick, with his hip to the ground.
Clark’s teammates were criticized for not doing more to protect their star player. Now, after Sunday’s defeat against Sky, they have been criticized for not having supported her with the ball.
Several clips have flooded social media, showing players throwing simple passes and missing layups.
