The Indiana Fever played the Dallas Wings yesterday as Caitlin Clark and the Fever took a close 110 to 109 win. Clark had 35 points, eight assists, and two rebounds in the 36 minutes she saw on the court.
Clark has essentially been the face of the WNBA since she was taken first overall in the 2024 WNBA draft after she dominated the college ranks. She has brought so much attention to women’s basketball that rapper Ice Cube offered her a job in his league for more money than she is currently getting in the WNBA.
Now, since the 22-year-old All-Star is the person fans look at as representing the league, it’s no surprise that anything containing her name in the title will be looked at, and that recently happened to a post on Facebook.

In a picture uploaded to face by user Robert Vargas, Clark can be seen wearing a leopard print dress, and fans immidiately called out the photo for being completely fake. It is apperantly her face photoshopped on to an actress.
One fan called out Vargas for posting the fake image, commenting, “This is just Caitlin’s face superimposed on a famous photo of actress Jennifer Connelly.” And he wasn’t the only fan to notice the apperant work done on the photo.
Another fan stood up for the WNBA star in comments and was seeming fooled by the doctored image stating, “For all the negative comments about her just means she is not your type but the funny thing is if she met you and wanted to get with you you would change your mind.”
One last fan was probably the most realistic of them all as he commented on the photo and complimented her basketball skills in the process. “Shes nice looking woman but give it a rest, shes not a sex symbol or a drop dead bombshell beauty. She IS A HELLUVA BASKETBALL PLAYER THOUGH,” they said.
While the photo of the WNBA star may be fake, one thing that fans can be assured of is that her basketball, skills aren’t as she is one of the leagues best players right and she will only get better as her career goes on.
