Ex-Champ's Bombshell: Fever Dumping Clark?
5 Jun
Summary
- Mychal Thompson claimed Fever no longer want Caitlin Clark.
- Clark is averaging 20.1 points, 4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists.
- A recent team meeting lasted nearly two hours to address issues.
The Indiana Fever's 2026 season is already marred by controversy, amplified by a claim from former NBA champion Mychal Thompson. He asserted on social media that the Fever no longer want Caitlin Clark, urging other teams to pursue her. This alleged dysfunction surfaces as the Fever struggle early in their season.
Despite expectations, Indiana has faltered, with Clark returning from injury to impressive individual stats, averaging 20.1 points, four rebounds, and 8.1 assists in her first eight games. However, a significant loss to the Portland Fire saw Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Lexie Hull controversially pulled early in the game, followed by apparent heated exchanges.
A lengthy team meeting, lasting nearly two hours and becoming player-led, was held to address these simmering tensions. While unverified and publicly denied by Clark and the team, Thompson's claim has fueled speculation about the Fever's ability to cohere as they sit at a .500 record.
