Indiana Fever head coach Christie Sides wants the WNBA to do something about the hard fouls on Caitlin Clark.
Since entering the league, Clark has been getting hammered by her rivals.
Things have gotten so bad that Clark openly complained last week about players beating her up during games.

“I think everybody is physical with me, they get away with things that probably other people don’t get away with,” “It’s tough, but that’s just the fact of the matter. This is a very physical game, and you’re going to get pressure, this is professional basketball. It is what it is, honestly.”
On Saturday, Clark got destroyed by a vicious cheap shot from Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter.

After the game, Sides demanded the WNBA take action to protect Clark from further physical punishment from her opponents.
This is unacceptable @wnba
When will the consistent complaints be heard?!? Something has to be done! https://t.co/QVf1vHA5l4— Christie Sides (@ChristieSides) June 1, 2024
Unfortunately for the Fever, Carter’s foul was only upgraded to a flagrant 1, and she will not be suspended for her hit on Clark.
