Caitlin Clark gets chippy with referee after Fever's loss to Wings
A crushing night in Indianapolis ended with what appeared to be a heated moment between Caitlin Clark and a referee. With the Fever trailing the Wings by one point Tuesday with less than two seconds to go in regulation, Indiana guard Kelsey Mitchell hurled the ball toward the net for the win but clipped the backboard instead. Advertisement As the Wings celebrated the 81-80 road victory inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark — currently sidelined with a groin injury — walked on the court toward official Amy Bonner, with images of the interaction seemingly illustrating a chippy exchange, in which the ref appeared to point toward the bench. Clark, who isn't a stranger to jawing with the refs, wasn't the only member of the Fever who appeared to take exception to the officiating Tuesday, with head coach Stephanie White chiding the 'double standard' in a physical game. 5 Caitlin Clark appears to get chippy with a referee on Aug. 12, 2025.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images 'If it's going to be physical, and you're going to allow us to be physical, then allow both teams to be physical. If you're going to call the holds, and you're going to call the chucks, then call it both ways, White said, according to the Indy Star. 'So, I mean, I think that we've been pretty consistent in what we're asking for, and I didn't feel like it was consistent,' White, in her first season as coach of the Fever, 'went up to the referees multiple times during breaks and timeouts to talk and get clarity on different foul calls,' per the Indy Star. 5 Caitlin Clark on the floor during the Fever's 81-80 loss to the Wings.

Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Aliyah Boston, the Fever's first overall pick in 2023, tallied three fouls Tuesday, including a questionable call involving Wings center Li Yueru, who clamped the Fever star's arm, which became entangled in her own as she made a shot. The Fever fell to 18-15 with the loss and are sixth in the WNBA standings. 5 Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) looks to shoot over Wings center Li Yueru (28). AP Advertisement Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, has been hampered by injuries during her sophomore campaign. She has been out since July 15, and there is no concrete timetable as to when she'll return. Through 13 games this season, Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists.

The Inside Line IndyCar Podcast: Will Power gets Penske's first win of the year at Portland
In this episode of The Inside Line, IndyStar motorsports insider Nathan Brown and co-host Joey Barnes start things off highlighting the novelty of Will Power's win Sunday at Portland, what impact it may have on his future at Team Penske and what that future could (and should) look like. The pair then discuss the way in which Alex Palou clinched his fourth IndyCar title Sunday and the historic pace of the start to his career. They then break-down and opine on the controversial crash between Christian Rasmussen and Conor Daly, the lack of a call from race control why many drivers in the paddock are frustrated with the current state of race control. Nathan finishes off the podcast with updates on progress for 2026 races at Toronto and Mexico City and why the latter doesn't appear to be as much of a 'sure thing' as immediately believed.
