Social media is convinced that Caitlin Clark’s WNBA peers are “terrified” of her after some interesting footage from Saturday’s WNBA All-Star Game.
The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game was held at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday. Caitlin Clark and Team WNBA defeated Team USA by a final score of 117-109, with the first overall pick tallying four points and 10 assists in 26 minutes of action.
One of the more memorable moments of the All-Star Game saw Team USA member and Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum providing hard defense on Clark. Let’s just say Plum was putting in the effort like it was a playoff game instead of an exhibition match:
We really watched a rookie get guarded like this in an All Star game
They’re absolutely terrified of her 😭#WNBA pic.twitter.com/DIXiUlSLLe

This viral clip had fans saying the same thing: The WNBA veterans are absolutely “terrified and/or jealous of Caitlin Clark:
IN AN ALL-STAR GAME
That's an embarrassment.
And what's even better is that assist is so freaking sick.

Jealousy

So petty

And they can’t stop her. On or off the court. They are just plain mad at this point, despite her presence actually increasing their opportunities to earn. Pathetic.

I've watched this a hundred times at least. Starting to think it is my favorite highlight EVER. When your own teammate is awestruck by your skill, that's magical.

It's so darn funny. The more they say she isn't good enough, the more it shows just how absolutely petty they are.
– She sets the WNBA record for assists in a game. Not player of the week.
– She goes on a tear in July, not the player of the month
– They gave her the "rookie of…— Dav Bright (@Dav90281897) July 21, 2024
That’s not fear. It’s jealousy.

@Kelseyplum10 Plum got owned. 💀

The 22-year-old Clark has more than lived up to expectations as the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She’s averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game through her first 26 contests while shooting 40.5 percent from the field.
With the league on an Olympic break, the Fever will get three weeks off before returning to action against the Phoenix Mercury on Aug. 16.
Caitlin Clark & Fever Looked Poised To Make The Playoffs
The Fever haven’t made the postseason since 2016, and they haven’t won a playoff series nor finished above .500 in nine years. And since 2017, Indiana hasn’t topped 13 wins in a single season.
But the postseason drought looks destined to finally end here in 2024. At the Olympic break, the Fever sit at 11-15 and are three games clear of the Atlanta Dream (7-17) for the final playoff spot.
Indiana is tied with the Chicago Sky (10-14) for the No. 8 seed. Clark and company are also just 2.5 behind the Mercury for the No. 6 seed, so the path is still there to climb up the standings during their postseason push.
