Caitlin Clark has missed the last five games of the Indiana Fever while recovering from a quad injury. As she misses games, Clark's chances of making the all-star team is in jeopardy.

However, it seems like the Fever star's fans have taken matters into their own hands to get her an all-star nod. On Friday, WNBA journalists accused them of hacking their accounts to vote for her.

Lo Byke, the host of "The Best Damn W Show" and "Keep’n it 9450," posted on X about it.

"Multiple media members have had their emails hacked by Caitlin fans…. All for the sake of voting her into the All Star game? This next level sh**. Yall don’t feel crazy doing this? All for an ALL STAR GAME? Weirdos man," Byke tweeted.

Her allegations were corroborated by Ballislife's Sara Jane Gamelli. She posted a screenshot of the votes that were cast on her behalf

"Woke up to more votes in my inbox!" Gamelli tweeted.

Gamelli also slammed Clark's fans for the "unhinged" behavior.

"Fan base is unhinged. Call it how I see it. Harassment and threats for what? Some people are just truly showing why this has been the elephant in the room no one’s been talking about," Gamelli tweeted.

Indianapolis will host the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend, and the home fans expect their star player to be included. The event is scheduled for July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse Arena.

Caitlin Clark talks about her future with the Indiana Fever

The last two years have been great for Indiana basketball. Last year, the Fever drafted Caitlin Clark, and the Indiana Pacers reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although this season has been tough on Clark, who has been dealing with a quad injury, the Pacers have held the fort, reaching the NBA Finals. While Indianapolis is considered a small market, Clark has no intention of leaving the team.

"(Tyrese Haliburton) and I would both tell you this is where we both hope to stay the rest of our careers," Clark said on Friday, via ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. "People are like, 'It's a small market.' But no, that's what makes it fun. These people, this is what means the world to them.
"We haven't hosted a Finals game in 25 years, and I've never seen this type of excitement. People are lining up three hours before the game. I literally just got the chills thinking about it.n And they're the same for the Fever."

There is no clarity over when Clark will return from injury. However, there is hope that the Fever star would be back soon.
