Fever Bench Erupts in Laughter at Diggins-Smith's Frustration
4 Aug
Summary
- Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, and Sydney Colson laughed at Skylar Diggins-Smith
- Diggins-Smith got tangled with Kelsey Mitchell and hit the floor hard
- Indiana Fever have won 5 straight games without star player Caitlin Clark
According to the news article, on Sunday, August 4th, 2025, the Indiana Fever bench, including Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, and Sydney Colson, drew attention for their antics during the game against the Seattle Storm. Clark, who is currently recovering from a right groin injury, was seemingly laughing at fellow All-Star guard Skylar Diggins-Smith following a chaotic fourth-quarter incident.
The incident occurred when Diggins-Smith got tangled with Kelsey Mitchell, resulting in her hitting the floor hard. While the call went in her favor, Diggins-Smith looked frustrated as she walked to the other side of the floor for an offensive possession in front of the Fever bench. She was arguing with the referees and talking to herself, which seemed to have the Fever trio cracking up.
Despite Caitlin Clark's absence, the Fever have been on a roll, winning 5 straight games and improving to 8-5 without their superstar guard. The team's depth has stepped up, with players like Sophie Cunningham, Natasha Howard, and Aliyah Boston leading the way. Cunningham scored 17 points, while Howard had 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Aliyah Boston continued her fine run with 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals.
The Fever's collective effort on defense has also been a key to their winning outcome, holding the Storm's top three scorers, Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Gabby Williams, to 16 points or fewer each.
