Shaq dismisses Barkley's comments about the pettiness surrounding Caitlin Clark

Shaquille O'Neal doesn't agree with Charles Barkley's comments about the pettiness surrounding Caitlin Clark in the WNBA.

Sports Seriously

Caitlin Clark scored 16 points, but the favorite to win Rookie of the Year couldn’t lead her team to a win as the Indiana Fever dropped an 86-75 decision to the Las Vegas Aces Wednesday in Indianapolis.

The teams meet again Friday.

Clark also dished six assists and grabbed three rebounds, but shot just 6-of-22, including 1-of-10 from 3, one of her worst shooting performances of the season.

Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 24 points.

Clark and the Fever have been on a tear lately, with Clark averaging 25 points over the 10 previous games before Wednesday. The Fever have already secured a playoff spot, their first since 2016.

The Aces were led by MVP favorite A’ja Wilson, who finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks.

Wilson broke the WNBA single-season scoring record late in the first half on a 15-footer. With five games left in the regular season Wilson has 956 points. Seattle’s Jewell Loyd scored 939 last season.
