It all started with a hard foul from Diamond DeShields. Caitlin Clark was breaking down the court after Aaliyah Boston stole the ball and passed it to her, but out of nowhere, DeShields bulldozed her—again. This wasn’t the first time Caitlin had taken a hard hit in this game, and it wouldn’t be the last.
But here’s the thing: Caitlin Clark wasn’t fazed. She got back up, brushed herself off, and didn’t even waste her energy on DeShields, except for a few choice words. At this point, it was clear—everyone was gunning for her, especially Angel Reese and her crew. They knew if they didn’t slow her down, their Rookie of the Year chances were over.
Now, let’s not act like this was just some isolated incident. Take a look at this wild stat—nearly 80% of all flagrant fouls against rookies this season? They were aimed right at Caitlin. That’s right, 80%. And it wasn’t just random players targeting her. A large chunk of those came from Angel Reese and her squad. This wasn’t just a rivalry; it was an all-out war on the court.
