Caitlin Clark is left with a BLACK EYE after brutal poke in face from WNBA rival

Caitlin Clark took a brutal poke to the face in her WNBA playoff debut on Sunday night - leaving the Indiana Fever rookie with a black eye.

Clark's first playoff appearance up in the big leagues did not go to plan as the Fever slumped to a 93-69 defeat against the Connecticut Sun.

And not only did she struggle in the game - with her return of 11 points a lot lower than she's become accustomed to this season - but the 22-year-old was also left rolling around on the floor in pain early on after being struck in the eye.

Just 90 seconds into the first-round playoff tie Clark was knocked to the ground by Connecticut guard DiJonai Carrington, who appeared to poke her while trying to block the ball.

No foul was called despite the contact leaving her in agony, before the Sun went on to claim victory in Game 1.

That gal had Bride of Fu Manchu nails! Seriously, Clark could have lost an eye, and the poke looked intentional. Why in the wide, wide world of sports are they allowed to play with long, pointy nails anyway?!?!

>> Who cares?

Exactly. Have at her, ferals. She doesn’t care about my country and I don’t care about her facial structure anymore.

Awww, so sad. Apparently “liking” TayTay’s endorsement of Commie-La didn’t earn Miss Clark the co-worker admiration she thought it might. Tsk, tsk.

So what? Lots of players get bumps and bruises and worse. The people complaining are the press, and most of them were the last students selected to the Phys Ed kickball team.

Clark is a moron.

She was building a huge fan base and she just gave half of them the middle finger.

Wish her luck but I could really care less one way or another.

Well, the thing is that despite her mistaken political announcements. She’s got amazing chops on the court, she’s a team player and seems to have single handedly spotlighted the existence of the WNBA. She’s being brutalized by the other players because she’s a white female basketball player who’s kicking butt at the game that black players have dominated for decades.

Maybe she’s a little young to comprehend the politics she’s advocated, but i’m still a fan.

Huge fan here. Been to Gainbridge. But you gotta admit Caitlyn Clark is always rolling around on the floor! lol
The W knows if they stop Clark , anyway they can, the team falters. Concerned about all the fouls called on Boston! Something’s rotten in Denmark.
