Caitlin Clark finally addressed teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial comments on trans athletes in women's sports, and she didn't hold back with reporters.
After the Indiana Fever's 108-100 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday, Clark was asked about Cunningham's stance against "biological men" competing against young girls in sports.
Clark didn't pick sides, saying it was "above her pay-grade."
She claimed the topic wasn't discussed in the locker room and that she was solely focused on winning WNBA games.
When the reporter pressed for more, Clark shut him down. Video from the exchange captures the tension.
Meanwhile, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a "Trans Kids Belong" shirt on the sidelines and spoke with Cunningham before the game.
Reeve later explained why such interactions are important nowadays.
As the WNBA's biggest star, Clark has the most to lose by taking a side, but that doesn't mean she won't be asked about her teammate.
