Caitlin Clark’s Eye Roll During Indiana Fever Loss Catches Attention

The Indiana Fever are struggling without their star point guard. Caitlin Clark, ruled out for the second straight game with a quad injury, could only sit and watch from the bench as Indiana lost to the Connecticut Sun 85-83 on Friday night.

Fever co-stars Aliyah Boston (17 points, five rebounds, eight assists) and DeWanna Bonner (13 points, three 3-pointers) stepped up in Clark's absence.

However, Indiana could not overcome two more backcourt injuries to Clark's replacements, as an electric 26-point barrage from Marina Mabrey led Connecticut to the win.

Early in the game, the cameras trained on Clark caught the 2024 Rookie of the Year rolling her eyes while she sat on the bench and the action unfolded around her.

At that point, the Fever were leading 14-11 with 3:13 left in the first quarter.

It was unclear what she was rolling her eyes at, but fans took notice of the clear behavior from the 23-year-old while she spoke with another person in team gear on the Indiana bench.

"Her eyeroll here is so dramatic," responded one X user.

"She’s actually so funny," said another.

"I clicked back to the game and saw this," noticed a viewer.

I am watching the game and I am wondering the exact same thing. What is is going on? https://t.co/qJq1tSMsMX

"Man as soon as i saw this live i knew yall would have it clipped within seconds," wrote a fan.

The most popular response to the clip compared her to a famous LeBron James moment.

"First off 'Happy international women’s day' vibe without the words," said the much-liked reply.

Clark has been recognized for her pattern of intensely competitive behavior on the bench since she has been sidelined with the injury. Against the Sun, it was this more light-hearted moment that caught the attention of social media during the loss.

The Fever have a few days off before their next game against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. Clark will miss at least that game and next Saturday's rematch with Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky before being re-evaluated for a potential return.
