Clark pokes fun at the Fever.
|
Last weekend, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark didn’t hold back when she saw a playful social media post featuring teammate Aliyah Boston get a little lost in translation. The post, which was designed to highlight Boston’s offseason dominance in a 3-on-3 league, ended up prompting a funny moment of feedback from Clark, who took to the comments to point out a problem with the video itself.
As reported by Athlon Sports, to understand why Clark’s reply caught attention, it helps to look back at what was going on with the Fever over the past season. Clark, entering what will be her third WNBA season, saw her sophomore year cut short by a series of nagging injuries, including a groin issue and ankle trouble, limiting her to just 13 games in 2025.
Even so, when she was on the court, she produced strong all-around numbers, averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game and earning her second straight All-Star selection as one of the league’s top ten starters.
Clark Takes A Lighthearted Swipe At The Fever
Meanwhile, Boston has been flourishing in her own right. After being a high draft pick of the Fever and quickly establishing herself as a key part of the roster, she enjoyed what was arguably the best season of her three-year WNBA career in 2025. Boston posted career-best scoring, pulled down rebounds at a high rate, and made herself a presence on defense by averaging nearly a block a game, efforts that earned her her first WNBA All-Defensive Team honor.
With the WNBA season long over and the offseason in full swing, Boston took her talents to Miami to play in season two of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league. There she continued to shine, averaging eye-catching numbers in points, rebounds, and assists while racking up more blocks than anyone else in that circuit. Her elite performance became the subject of an Indiana Fever social media post highlighting her shot-blocking ability.
In the Fever’s Instagram caption, the team hyped Boston’s league-leading 24 blocks by saying “no one’s blocking more shots down in Miami than @aliyah.boston,” and encouraged fans to check out highlights of her best rejections.
But not everyone viewing the clip could easily enjoy what was posted. Clark, who clearly scrolled past the Fever’s upload, noticed the video was distorted, making it hard to watch. Without holding back, she dropped a comment under the post giving her honest reaction to the visual quality: “Respectfully how am I supposed to watch this,” she wrote. “Now I have a migraine.” Her response quickly drew attention for its blend of blunt critique and good humor.
Boston’s impact on the team has been undeniable, and even when Clark could not be on the court last season, Boston and fellow veteran Kelsey Mitchell helped lead the Fever all the way to the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs, where they pushed the Las Vegas Aces to the brink before falling in overtime in a decisive Game 5.
Looking ahead, Clark and the rest of Indiana are slated to open the 2026 campaign on May 9 against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. However, the start of the league’s season remains uncertain as negotiations over the Collective Bargaining Agreement continue without resolution.
Whether that opening night happens on schedule or gets delayed, Clark’s digital commentary last weekend was a reminder that she’s paying attention to every part of Fever life, from on-court accomplishments to off-court highlights and even the occasional glitchy video.
