"Show your teammates grace" - Former WNBA star critical of Caitlin Clark for petulance towards colleague

Former WNAB star Val Whiting criticized WNBA rookie star Caitlin Clark for not showing grace to her teammates during the Indiana Fever vs. Dallas Wings game through her X post, formerly on Twitter.

"I don’t like that CC showed frustration and threw up her arms when Lyss turned the ball over. Everyone makes mistakes. Show your teammates grace," Whiting tweeted.

The Fever vs. Wings game was a close call between the two teams until the very last moments. During a play, NaLyssa Smith turned the ball over and Caitlin Clark could not hold her frustration back and raised her arms in disappointment. This attracted the criticism of Whiting, who advised Clark to be more grateful and forgiving towards her teammates.

Individually, Clark scored 24 points, collected six rebounds and provided an impressive 19 assists to keep the game alive. Aaliyah Boston was a great supporter, leading the Fever scoring charts with 28 points, eight rebounds and three assists.

However, the Wings outscored the Fever in the final quarter to secure a 101-93 win. Odyssey Sims and Arike Ogunbowale led the charts for the Wings with 24 points each.
