WNBA fans ripped Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever teammates after a horrific mishap early into Sunday’s game against the Seattle Storm.
In the opening minutes of their meeting, the rookie sensation drew several defenders out of the paint, leaving room for teammate Kelsey Mitchell to make a run to an open basket.
They appeared to be on the same page as Clark bounced the pass to Mitchell for a chance to score Indiana’s first points. However, without a defender in sight, Mitchell managed to miss the layup, as the ball bounced out of the rim.
Fans took to social media to slam Mitchell for the miss. Meanwhile, others went as far as claiming Clark carries the weight of the team.
‘Caitlin Clark’s teammates aren’t real dawg,’ one wrote with a crying and laughing emojis. ‘She gotta do it herself.’
