Geno Auriemma Claims Caitlin Clark Is Targeted in WNBA
UConn coach Geno Auriemma claims that WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark is being "targeted" with excessive physical play, citing a recent incident where she was shoulder-checked by Chicago Sky's Chennedy Carter. While some, like ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo, acknowledge the unprecedented defensive attention Clark is receiving, they don't see it as dirty play, except for the Carter incident. Breanna Stewart, another former UConn player, emphasizes that physicality is a normal part of the WNBA that all players must adapt to.
