The Indiana Fever have been the subject of heightened media scrutiny throughout the last week. Ahead of their Saturday night game, a 83–75 loss against the New York Liberty at Barclays Center, it was the main thing reporters wanted to address.
“I don’t know why we’re still on this,” Caitlin Clark told reporters on Saturday. “We didn’t blatantly sit there and talk about everything you guys were writing and what’s in the media, we’re just talking about how we can be better as a team.”
“I understand there’s always going to be people that have opinions, and I respect that—it doesn’t make it right, doesn’t make it wrong. For myself, I just try to keep the main thing the main thing,” Clark also said.

The speculation kicked off following the Fever’s 100–84 loss to the Portland Fire on May 30, where a clip of Caitlin Clark arguing with head coach Stephanie White on the bench surfaced. A day later, Skip Bayless posted a false report that White was being fired and replaced with Iowa coach Jan Jensen.
