The Indiana Fever's third straight win was marred by yet more officiating issues and another injury to superstar Caitlin Clark. The issues have gotten so bad that Clark's own brother is weighing in.

During the game yesterday, Colin Clark took to X and declared that all of the struggles the Fever dealt with yesterday in their 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun was "on the reffing."

"Make no mistake, this is on the reffing," Clark wrote.

The post has since been deleted, but many fans have praised Colin for having the courage to make the comment in the first place. There's some uncertainty whether he's specifically referring to the injury that his sister sustained during the game, but everyone appreciated him regardless:

"It’s like everyone knows but no one does anything about it, make it make sense," one user remarked.

"He's 1000% correct. They are allowing her to be beaten like a rag doll on the court. Anything goes on CC. Someone make it make sense to me. Please. I cannot understand this non basketball physicality garbage called WNBA. Refs Need to go. And the commissioner with them," another wrote.

"Everyone knows this. Even that moron Englebert and yet she let's it go on game after game. Adam Silver needs to step in," a third remarked.

"I couldn't agree more with Colin. One of the most dangerous things in sports is an incompetent official. I believe that poor officiating allowed Caitlin to be injured and now she is understandably frustrated because she can no longer play well. WNBA incompetence has killed their golden goose."

"And he’s absolutely right. Their officiating is beyond terrible - it’s inexcusable neglect by the @wnba. They finally have a player who raised up the whole league, and they are jeopardizing her career and the future of their own league for an agenda."

Fan frustration was already at all-time high with the WNBA prior to Clark's most recent injury. Things aren't going to improve with this latest injury potentially knocking Clark out of the WNBA All-Star Game.

What can the WNBA do to make this issue less pronounced?
