"WNBA hates their biggest star by a mile" - Fans react to WNBA's now-deleted post involving Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu

Even though the WNBA entered the break for the All-Star Game and the Olympics, Caitlin Clark's name remains in everybody's mouths. The Indiana Fever rookie shocked the world on Wednesday, dropping 24 points and dishing a record-breaking 19 assists in a loss against the Dallas Wings.

Clark has been on a tear in recent weeks, and some may have considered that she deserved Player of the Week honors following some remarkable performances. The WNBA's X account (formerly known as Twitter) made a mistake today, writing a message to celebrate Sabrina Ionescu getting the honor this week but adding a three-minute video of Clark's highlights.

"Sabrina Ionescu has been on fire, delivering back-to-back high-scoring performances to lead her @nyliberty squad to the #1 seed in league standings, earning her Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors," the post read alongside the 25 points, five rebounds and five assists per game Ionescu averaged during the week.

The post was deleted, but that didn't stop fans from sharing their opinion on this decision, criticizing the WNBA for the mistake and some even claiming they don't appreciate Clark.

"The WNBA hates their biggest star by a mile," one fan said.

"This is the worst league in sports. It’s insane that the #WNBA is a pro league. Utterly insane," another fan said.

Others tried to explain that this video was meant for a different (and more important) announcement.

"I’m wondering if the video is meant to go with an upcoming post, ahem," one fan wrote.

"Either that or it’s confirmation she won player of the month," another one said.

One fan was convinced Clark deserved to be the Player of the Week.

Caitlin Clark finishes July with the second-most double-doubles in the WNBA

After the historic duel against the Dallas Wings, Caitlin Clark added one more double-double to her collection. With the league heading into the break, the Indiana Fever star is tied with the second-most double-doubles this month, trailing A'ja Wilson, who recorded six and tied Angel Reese.

She's recorded nine double-doubles during the season and one triple-double, becoming the first WNBA rookie and first Fever player to post one of those.

Clark played 26 games before the break, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game with the Fever, shooting 40.5% from the field, 32.7% from deep and 89.1% from the free-throw line.

Clark is making a huge impression within the league, and she's just starting.
