“Lowkey Shade to The Indiana Fever Owner And Franchise”: WNBA Fans Erupt as Caitlin Clark Revisits Valkyries Owner’s Bold Championship Promise

Caitlin Clark opened up after the Golden State Valkyries made history by winning a title in their second WNBA season. The Indiana Fever lost in Round 1 of the postseason to the Las Vegas Aces, and many fans believe Clark’s comment was a low-key dig at her team’s leadership. Valkyries owner Joe Lacob had vowed to win the championship within the first five seasons after entering the league. And they did so by beating the Atlanta Dream in seven games, as Gabby Williams won Finals MVP. On “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce” on Tuesday, Clark hailed the Valkyries franchise for keeping their word: “I remember their owner. … He literally said on stage, ‘We’re going to win a championship in five years or less,’ and I was like, I love that! And here we are, like, two years later. I’m like, well, ‘Do I love that?’ because I’m not playing, but they are.” Fans reacted to Clark’s comment, as some believed it was a sly dig at the Fever management for not committing enough to the team’s success. One wrote: “Lowkey shade to the Indiana Fever owner and franchise tbh… do they actually want to win?” Clark and the Fever have a lot of work to do in the offseason. The new front office will need to rethink strategy and the route to take in the coming seasons. Caitlin Clark releases her new picture book Caitlin Clark is not taking a hiatus as the WNBA goes into the offseason. After the Fever went out of the postseason, the guard did not leave the spotlight, as she recently launched her new picture book, “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams,” on X: “BIG NEWS! I wrote a picture book🥹 Illustrated by @adriillustration.” Clark and the Fever also need to address the team’s image with the agents and other stakeholders, as the team’s fanbase has also drawn criticism in the WNBA.
