'I Went Back Into The Game To Help DB': Caitlin Clark Addresses Controversial Late Game Return Vs Sky, Clears Out Air On Helping Dave Portnoy’s Wager

Caitlin Clark recently spoke out in an interview about her strange decision to get back in the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game on Saturday. Clark has been accused of making a late return to the game in the fourth quarter just to create a triple double record. Apart from creating the record, Clark also helped Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, make about $350,000 that night, since he wagered that the Indiana Fever star would score a triple double in that game.

In their first-ever game of the new WNBA season, the Indiana Fever took on the Chicago Sky and posted a beautiful win. Clark herself chalked up 20 points for the team, grabbing ten rebounds and assisting ten times, recording her first triple double in the season.

“I went back into the game to help DB (DeWanna Bonner) get her in the third on the all-time scoring list,” Clark said. “If you were watching the game, we were struggling a little bit there to her even get the ball at half-court. I told Steph, ‘Let me go in there.’ It was driving me nuts on the baseline not watching DB get this.” Caitlin Clark explained her reason to get back in the game in the final quarter in a recent interview.
