Caitlin Clark took aim at the WNBA landscape after the Indiana Fever won the 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup on Tuesday against the Minnesota Lynx. The Fever won 79-54 despite Clark's absence, pulling out all the stops against Napheesa Collier and Co.
It was a mammoth win for the underdogs, who bagged a $620,000 prize pool. As the Fever erupted in wild celebrations in the locker room, Clark took shots at the rest of the WNBA. During star center Aliyah Boston's Instagram live, Clark said in the background:
"I just know everybody in the league is sick."

The statement was possibly referencing how she felt the Fever were being treated by teams, players and media, from allegedly downplaying their influence to calling out their fanbase for hostile behavior.
Caitlin Clark has never addressed conversations like these publicly, making this one of the major talking points of the Fever's Commissioner Cup win celebrations.
Caitlin Clark voted9th-best guard by WNBA players in All-Star rankings
Caitlin Clark's comment on the rest of the league being "sick" after the Indiana Fever's win may also have been related to the recent All-Star vote by the players. Clark was ninth in player voting among All-Stars for the WNBA's best guard honor. The players voted Alisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Skylar Diggins, Paige Bueckers, Kelsey Mitchell and Natasha Cloud above her.
Clark was first in fan voting and third in media voting for the same honor.
Several media personalities like Jason Whitlock, Emmanuel Acho, Dick Vitale and Robert Griffin III raised issues with the rankings, seemingly suggesting that the players "hate" Clark.
She's not had the best of seasons due to injuries and a dip in form, but Clark's impact beyond the box score remains as good as any player's.
Nevertheless, it won't matter much for the Fever superstar as she broke her own record for most WNBA All-Star votes ever, with the number reaching 1,293,526. She will captain one of the teams.
