Many basketball observers believe Caitlin Clark is facing significant challenges in the WNBA.
The rookie’s Commissioner Cup game against Chicago Sky has caught the attention of fans and analysts, not for the Indiana Fever‘s win, but for the game’s intense physicality. This situation has sparked comparisons to the early career struggles of NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Caitlin Clark’s teammates called out for not protecting her from hard fouls
In 1985, during the NBA All-Star Weekend, players such as Isiah Thomas reportedly conspired to limit Jordan‘s impact on the game to remind him of his rookie status.
Although the WNBA does not have an All-Star game during an Olympic year, Clark, currently the league’s most popular player, is experiencing similar adversity.

Chris Broussard recently discussed this topic, referencing Matt Barnes‘ comments about the need for Clark‘s teammates to support her more. Broussard agreed, stating that the team should have rallied around Clark during these challenging times.
“Michael Jordan, it happened to him,” Broussard told the Fox Sports Radio.
“How physical they were with him. Isaiah Thomas iced him out at the All-Star game. I get that.”
Despite the obstacles, Clark continues to receive widespread support from the basketball community.
