Brittney Griner plays dirty again! Griner hit Clark in the face while trying to play tight defense | Video oning
VIDEO: Brittney Griner hit Clark in the face while trying to play tight perimeter defense, Clark scored beautifully.
This video made everyone remember their last skirmish. One month ago, during Fever vs Mercury battle, Clark had 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds in the Feverās 95-86 win over the Mercury. It was her fifth consecutive game with a double-double.
During last nightās battle, Griner and the Mercury did everything they could to chase Clark off the 3-point line. At one point,Ā Griner even hit Clark in the faceĀ while trying to play tight perimeter defense.
Griner didnāt appear to hit Clark with malicious intent, so itās not a huge deal. However, itās a problem that WNBA officials missed the foul.
WNBA fans couldnāt help but blast the leagueās officiating for missing yet another foul against Clark.
āNot dirty but that should have been called a foul,ā one fan said.
āShe welcoming Rook into the W,ā a second fan commented. āAll a part of the game.ā
āOne of the worst all time calls in all of basketball anywhere,ā a third fan wrote.
āThis is ridiculous,ā another fan tweeted.
Clark and Griner have shown nothing but respect to each other. This minor incident wonāt change that.
Last night, Clark became the first rookie in WNBA history to have at least 400 points, 150 assists and 100 rebounds in a season. Sheās well on her way to being the Rookie of the Year.
