Caitlin Clark's Behavior During Fever's Third Straight Loss is Turning Heads

Caitlin Clark's Behavior During Fever's Third Straight Loss is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Indiana Fever are now 0-2 since Caitlin Clark went down with an injury that will keep her out for at least two more games. 

The Fever hosted the previously winless Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday in what turned out to be a highly disappointing 85-83 loss for Indiana. 

The Sun marked their first win of the season, improving to 1-5. The Fever, on the other hand, have fallen to 2-4 after their third straight loss. 

Clark may not have been on the court for the game, but she was a very active figure on the bench throughout the contest. 

At one point in the game, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was seen having an animated discussion with a referee on the court. Clark clearly wasn't happy with how one particular call did not go in her team's favor. 

The Fever cannot be faulted for a lack of fight in this one, though. After going down by as many as 16 points, Indiana came storming back in the fourth quarter. Clark was up on her feet on the bench as DeWanna Bonner hit back-to-back triples to give the Fever a 76-74 lead with less than four minutes remaining in the final frame. 

Clark's behavior quickly grabbed the attention of fans on social media. 

"Probably killing her to be on the sideline. Get healthy queen CC!" a comment on X read. 

"need her so bad," said another. 

"Aura," a reaction read.

"We need her back, this team sucks. You disappointed your fans once again," a disappointed supporter wrote.

"Can one player really have that big of an impact on a team? It’s starting to look like it. Need her healthy and back on the floor," agreed another.  

"Another L," commented a user. 

Clark's participation from the bench clearly hasn't been enough to help the Fever win without her. The fact of the matter is that they need her back on the floor as soon as possible.
