It seems almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion about Caitlin Clark and her place in the WNBA, and that also seems to includes the league’s own players, both past and present. After Clark finished 11th in the player All-Star voting for guards, former WNBA star Candace Parker called out the league’s current players for having Clark so far down on the list.
Clark has missed three games this season, while the Indiana Fever are having a disappointing year in the standings, but her individual numbers are as good, or better, as they have been at any point in her career, and stack up with the league’s best players.
Parker did not sugarcoat her criticism of the league’s players, basically telling them to seek out a therapist to figure out what their issues are.

Parker spent 16 years in the WNBA, winning three championships and two MVP awards, and she co-hosts a podcast with Clark’s WNBA teammate Aliyah Boston.
Parker used that platform to call out the voting results.
