Social media lip readers think they detected Caitlin Clark’s hilarious response to a message from Indiana Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham during Friday’s game against the Dallas Wings.

Caitlin Clark missed the game as she recovers from a nagging groin injury. Despite her absence, the Fever held on for an 88-78 road victory, improving their record to 16-12 on the season.

At one point during the game, cameras picked up Sophie Cunningham whispering something in Clark’s ear. Not wanting lip readers to detect the message, Cunningham wisely covered her mouth with a towel while speaking to Clark.

There’s no way of knowing what Cunningham said, but lip readers believe Caitlin Clark responded with, “Yup, I know. She hates me.”


 


It’s no secret that Clark isn’t exactly liked by a fair number of her opponents. It’s certainly fueled by jealousy (“the Caitlin Clark effect” is a real thing) and the desire to get as much attention as she receives.

Who exactly was Caitlin Clark (seemingly) accusing of hating her during the conversation with Cunningham? Consider it an unsolved mystery.

Unfortunately, various injuries have limited the 23-year-old Clark to 13 games during her sophomore year. There is still no timeline on when Clark, who also had to miss the All-Star weekend, will return.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
