Caitlin Clark was targeted by an opponent on Sunday with an extremely petty move.
Clark helped her Indiana Fever beat the Seattle Storm 92-75 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind. The strong play of Clark may have been just a little too much for Skylar Diggins-Smith to handle.
Diggins-Smith was caught on video speeding up her walk to intentionally bump Clark after a timeout while both were heading to their benches.

Making that petty move even worse was the Storm coach who tried to get Clark called for a technical foul for the contact that was so clearly initiated and instigated by Diggins-Smith.
Clark had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists in the victory. Her nine assists helped her set the WNBA record for assists in a season by a rookie.
Diggins-Smith is a 6-time WNBA All-Star and had 15 points on 6/17 shooting. Maybe she was just a wee bit jealous, not unlike many other WNBA players.
