The Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 85-77 on the road on Tuesday, but the win was overshadowed by questionable refereeing decisions and Caitlin Clark's late injury exit. The 2025 All-Star captain seemingly reaggravated her groin injury, which forced her to miss five games earlier in the season.Clark was seen in tears on the sidelines after an emotional game in which she had heated exchanges with the referees about the Sun players' physicality. ESPN broadcaster Pam Ward was also involved in controversy as she discussed the Sun's attendance records while Clark was crying on the sidelines."This feels like homecourt," Ward said. "They [Sun] got over 19,000 people last year when the Sun played Los Angeles, so it's not just a Caitlin Clark thing."The timing and nature of Ward's comments angered many Fever fans, who felt she was "dissing" the star point guard. Here are some of the reactions to Ward's commentary:"Just weird and pathetic," a fan commented. "IT IS ALL ABOUT CC like hello they moved this game there, it sure ain’t about the Sun. People naturally fell in love with CC for her game and the excitement she brings and those same people followed her to the league and are responsible for growth."ceeeelllzzzzz @cillughhLINKJust weird and pathetic. IT IS ALL ABOUT CC like hello they moved this game there, it sure ain’t about the Sun. People naturally fell in love with CC for her game and the excitement she brings and those same people followed her to the league and are responsible for growth. Andy froemel @FroemelAndyLINKNo empathy for Caitlin Clark is disgusting. The game was sold out last year in Boston because it was the first ever WNBA game in Boston. Not because of the Sun or Sparks. Dream Storm would have sold out there last year too. WNBA Canada sells out because of scarcity as well.CityGal @citygalLINKThe ol’ guard won’t let the league grow and the game evolve. Their part of the problem and why the players will never get paid what they are demanding. Their problems are staring them in the face. Truly sad moment in time for sports and women.Gray Quetti @gray_quettiLINKThose announcers last night were the worst I have ever heard. They wanted Tina Charles to have a monster game and Clark fail that they could hardly stand it.Joe Varriccio @MDRoadkingLINKThe broadcasters are as pathetic as the refs. Nothing about this league is anything near professional.Kennedi Phillips @kennediPhi24591LINKIt was so obvious that Ward was dissing Caitlin the entire game. I'm so glad Caitlin was clutch in securing the win... I'm sure that didn't make her happy. 🙏🙏🙏.. for CaitlinPam Ward faced scrutiny for 'speechless' moment during Caitlin Clark's flurry against LibertyIt isn't the first time Pam Ward has been scrutinized by Fever fans for her commentary. Ward was called out by fans on July 14 when Caitlin Clark had her best game of the season against the New York Liberty. Clark had 32 points in that contest, which was her first since returning from a quad injury.During the first quarter, she had an incredible sequence as she knocked down three triples on consecutive possessions from way downtown, scoring nine points in 38 seconds.Ward's commentary during that sequence didn't make a good impression on fans. Here are some of the reactions:🫶🏼 WBB 💕 @wbb_fannLINKDon’t ever let Pam Ward commentate another Caitlin gameShe just sitting there speechlessShe ain’t ready for the big stage 😭😭😭😭Michael Turner @Michael2TurnerLINKShe makes so many mistakes. Later in the game, she said Indiana ran the shot clock out AGAIN, when it was the Liberty who did it. GPinTN @GPinTN1LINKShe's even worse on football games...A few fans sided with Ward, saying the moment was good enough to leave her speechless. However, on Tuesday, most fans shared the same opinion regarding Ward's comments on attendance numbers.Several records have shown that Caitlin Clark has been responsible for the ratings surge and boost in crowd attendance. But many feel she has not been given enough credit by the media, rival players and owners.
