WNBA star and Indiana Fever Legend Tamika Catchings is blasting the league for the “cheap shots” perpetrated against its newest star, Caitlin Clark.“The cheap shot, I don’t agree with that, I don’t agree with that, especially that’s where injuries happen,” Catchings said. “The play itself was wrong. As a whole, we all have a responsibility to make sure that things like that don’t happen, for anybody to get hit like that.
“From the league standpoint, you have to protect your players. The fact that the referees didn’t take the time within the game to go and look at it, I was really surprised. I was at the game. I was really surprised that they didn’t look at it and that they just kept it moving. That’s not a basketball play,” she added.
Catchings, one of the greatest players the Indiana Fever has ever had, was the 2002 WNBA Rookie of the Year and said that she would be happy to counsel Clark. “Obviously, Caitlin is a tremendous player, she comes in with a lot of success in the college game, I love her personality, love who she is, and definitely happy to have her here in Indianapolis, and I think she’ll have a great career here and in the WNBA,” Catchings told the paper. “There is a lot of weight on her shoulders, and she’s handling it very well.”
Tamika Catchings, #24 of the Indiana Fever, celebrates against the Phoenix Mercury during Round One of the 2016 WNBA Playoffs on September 21, 2016, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
