Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark nearly reached her boiling point during a post-game interview following Sunday's dominant 102-88 win over the New York Liberty. Returning from a five-game injury break, Clark had just delivered a near triple-double performance when an unprofessional moment from a reporter tested her patience.
With the media room buzzing after her electric comeback, one reporter's disruptive behavior during the session almost overshadowed her stellar return.
Caitlin Clark nearly loses patience after reporter's unprofessional behavior at presser
After putting up 32 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in the win, Clark sat beside teammate Lexie Hull to address the media. What should've been a moment of celebration took an awkward turn when a reporter began asking questions while still distracted by his ringing phone.
Clark, clearly thrown off, interrupted politely but firmly.
'You can't ask a question on your phone, right?' she said with a tight smile. 'You can ask the question after you turn it off? I'm not a good multitasker, I can't hear.'
Her response gets a stunning response from NBA fans, and it showed how much respect Clark expects when representing herself and her team.
That exchange came after the Fever dominated the third quarter with a massive 25-3 run, flipping a tight game on its head.

Additionally, it marked Clark's full-circle return, as it was against New York in May that she sustained the quad injury that sidelined her for five games.
Off the court, Clark's bond with her teammates was another highlight. In a touching Instagram post, she shared a heartfelt photo with teammate Aliyah Boston, captioned: 'Missed my dawg,' tagging Boston's handle. Both stars played major roles in snapping the Liberty's undefeated run, which proved to be a stern warning for any team, as the Fever renewed the momentum.
Clark also learned during the same post-game presser that her reach now extends well beyond the U.S. When a reporter told her fans had flown from Hong Kong just to watch her play, she lit up.
'No way! Oh my gosh. I wish I could have met them,' she said. 'That's incredible. Yeah, maybe we'll head to Hong Kong after the season. I mean, I certainly hope to go to Hong Kong one day… if you know them, tell them I said hello.'
