In a shocking and controversial move, Connecticut Sun star Alyssa Thomas has been officially fined by the WNBA for refusing to speak to the media after the game. But what shocked the public even more was the reason behind it: Caitlin Clark.
According to a source behind the scenes, after her team’s bitter loss to the Indiana Fever, Alyssa was furious and absolutely refused to speak to any reporters – an action that violated the league’s mandatory media rules. When asked why, a close friend said Alyssa felt “so tired of all the questions revolving around Caitlin Clark even though she wasn’t the game’s top scorer.”
🔥**”She felt overlooked. Despite her huge contribution to the game, Alyssa’s name was completely overshadowed by a rookie,”** the source added.
Shortly after, the WNBA issued a financial penalty to Alyssa for “violating mandatory media responsibilities”. The amount has not been disclosed, but the online community quickly divided into two opinions:
👉 One side supports Alyssa, saying that the WNBA media is “too obsessed” with Caitlin Clark and has left other stars forgotten.
👉 The other side criticizes, asserting that refusing to communicate with the media is unprofessional – especially from a veteran player like Thomas.
📣 The incident is causing a storm on social media, with thousands of comments and fierce debates. Some people even ask: “Is the WNBA really for the collective or just building a single star?”
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark has remained silent about this drama, not making any statements.
🌀This story is far from over…
