Chicago Sky’s Diamond DeShields is under fire for her hit on Caitlin Clark.
On Friday night, Clark and the Indiana Fever traveled to Chicago and blew out the Sky.
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Fever up 25 points, DeShields shoved Clark to the ground after a steal and was assessed a flagrant 1.

Angry fans are calling on the WNBA to discipline DeShields for shoving Clark to the ground.
“Chicago Sky players didn’t like getting dominated at home by Caitlin Clark & her Indiana Fever teammates. So, they took some late cheap shots.” said one fan.
“That player should be punished and banned from the WNBA” commented another fan.
This isn’t the first time a Chicago Sky has gotten physical with Clark.
Earlier this year, Chennedy Carter found herself at the center of controversy for knocking down Clark during a game.
