Caitlin Clark's Performance and Referee Controversy in Fever vs. Dream Game

Brittney Griner of the Atlanta Dream achieved a milestone in her WNBA career, moving into the top 20 in all-time rebounding. In a game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, Griner secured her 2,336th rebound, surpassing Tangela Smith for 20th place. The Dream public relations team highlighted the achievement on social media. Griner, a dominant center since joining the league in 2013, previously led the Phoenix Mercury to a championship in 2014 alongside Diana Taurasi.

In the same game, Caitlin Clark continued to make her mark on the WNBA, tying Courtney Vandersloot's record for the most 20-point, 10-assist games in a career. Clark reached this milestone in just 42 games, while Vandersloot played in 430. Clark also became the fastest player to reach 350 career assists. Despite Clark's impressive performance, the Atlanta Dream defeated the Indiana Fever 91-90 in a close contest.

The game was not without controversy, as Fever coach Stephanie White used two challenges in the first half due to questionable calls, leaving the team without challenges in the second half. Clark expressed frustration with the length of the replay reviews, stating they disrupted the game's flow. Despite the loss, Clark is averaging 23.5 points and 10.5 assists in her first two games.

Looking ahead, the Fever will face the Dream again on Thursday, seeking to avenge their loss. The Fever have high expectations for the 2025 season after acquiring several elite role players. Clark's performance will be crucial as the Fever aim to contend for a title, with the team focused on building chemistry and improving as the season progresses.

Before the Fever's game against the Dream, the WNBA announced an investigation into reports of hateful comments directed toward Angel Reese during a game against Indiana. Clark was also involved in an incident during that game, where she was called for a flagrant foul against Reese.
