Caitlin Clark’s Savage Reaction After Former Teammate Misses Shot Adds Extra Fire to Fever Victory
Wednesday night’s matchup between the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury was already bound to be intense—but it became even more compelling thanks to the return of a former Fever player and a courtside moment involving none other than Caitlin Clark.
Though sidelined for the game, Clark remained an animated and vocal presence on the Fever bench. As her team battled on the court, the rookie phenom cheered on teammates, offered insights, and—at one dramatic moment—let her emotions spill over in a reaction that quickly went viral.
The incident unfolded when Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner, who had a short and controversial stint with the Fever earlier this season, missed a key shot. Cameras caught Clark’s reaction almost immediately: visibly fired up, her expression unmistakably savage. For fans who have followed the tension surrounding Bonner’s departure from Indiana, the moment spoke volumes.
Bonner, a veteran star and former All-Star, signed with the Fever in the offseason and was expected to bring both experience and leadership to the young squad. However, her time in Indiana was brief and puzzling. After only nine games, Bonner made the surprising decision to request a release from the team, citing a lack of fit and chemistry.
