One of those incidents came earlier this year when Sun guard Marina Mabrey shoved Clark and received a technical foul, which the league later upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Jacy Sheldon hit Clark in the face on a steal attempt, and when Clark shoved Sheldon and turned her back, Mabrey entered the scuffle and pushed Clark to the ground.

Caitlin Clark has emerged as one of the biggest stars in the WNBA through her first two seasons, but some argue that she hasn't reached face of the league status.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham already ranks among the most popular players in the WNBA. But she had a clear message about who she thinks the "face of the league" is. To no surprise, Cunningham believes it's her teammate Caitlin Clark.

When the Indiana Fever signed six-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion DeWanna Bonner during the offseason, fans rejoiced that the team brought in a veteran with championship experience. Fever fans thought they were getting a rock star legend who averaged double-digit points for 15 straight seasons and could help alleviate some of the pressure on stars Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston to carry the team by themselves.
