Indiana Fever player fires back at Jason Whitlock’s comment about her

McDonald herself then proceeded to fire back at the post from Whitlock. She clarified that she did not actually wear a wig and called Whitlock “very lame for commenting on a woman’s appearance.”

“LOL I usually don’t respond to foolishness like this, but I couldn’t help myself this time,” McDonald wrote in a quote-post. “You’re very lame for commenting on a woman’s appearance and for your information it’s not a wig. Don’t make me get @stephenasmith. Stay blessed.”

For reference, here is a clip of McDonald from Sunday’s game that was posted by the Fever’s official X page.

The 26-year-old McDonald, a former No. 3 overall pick, finished Sunday’s game with nine points, four rebounds, and nine assists. She is averaging 9.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game overall this season and has been getting increased run lately in the continued absence of Caitlin Clark (groin).

As for Whitlock, formerly of FOX Sports, he has a long history of making controversial comments and sparking anger from professional athletes. Even Allen Iverson once took aim at Whitlock in a profane rant.
