Brittney Griner Faces Lawsuit from Indiana Fever After Clash with Caitlin Clark
In a shocking twist that has sent shockwaves through the WNBA, the Indiana Fever have officially filed a lawsuit and issued a formal warning against Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner. The move follows what the team calls “malicious actions and verbal attacks” toward rookie sensation Caitlin Clark during a recent game.
The incident reportedly reached a breaking point when Griner, after an aggressive play sent Clark to the floor, yelled, “You don’t belong here. Sit the f** down.”* Fever officials allege Griner’s behavior crossed the line—from harsh trash talk to physical intimidation.
Fever president Allison Barber declared, “There was a deliberate pattern of behavior aimed at humiliating and harming Caitlin Clark both physically and mentally.”
While Clark has stayed silent, sources say she was shaken postgame. Griner’s unapologetic four-word response—“I said it. So?”—has only intensified the backlash.
With legal proceedings underway and the WNBA under pressure to act, the league now faces a defining moment: protect its rising star or risk deepening division in an already charged environment.
