Jokes Are Pouring in After Sky Lose to Fever Despite Caitlin Clark Being Out
Jokes Are Pouring in After Sky Lose to Fever Despite Caitlin Clark Being Out originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the second time this WNBA season, the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky faced off against one another, with Saturday's matchup coming as a part of the WNBA's Commissioner's Cup.

In the first meeting which also happened to be the season opener, 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark led the way for the Fever with a triple-double. On Saturday, Clark was out for what was her fourth straight game with a left quadriceps injury. Aside from their star player, the Fever were also missing Sophie Cunningham (ankle), and head coach Stephanie White (personal reasons). That didn't slow down the Fever by any means as they went on to win by a score of 79-52 in front of a sell-out United Center crowd of 19,496 fans. As one could imagine, fans on social media did not hold back on the Sky, who due to Angel Reese's rivalrous relationship with Clark that dates back to college, are viewed as the team's biggest rival.
