Hilarious Video Shows Caitlin Clark Clowning Around During Fever-Storm Drama
The final few moments of Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever's most recent WNBA game was not short on drama.
While the Fever ultimately secured a comfortable 92-75 win against the Seattle Storm on August 18, the game was tightly contested until the Fever pulled away in the quarter.
Despite this, Fever head coach Christie Sides elected to keep her starters on the court until there were only 0.4 seconds left in the game — which rubbed Storm head coach Noelle Quinn the wrong way.
Most of the TV broadcast's cameras were locked on to what looked to be a heated sideline conversation between Sides and Quinn in the game's waning moments. But one fan spectating the game live decided to take a video of Clark during this interaction — which produced a hilarious video.
On Tuesday night, X user @nosyone4 posted a video of Clark jokingly tip-toeing toward the head coach's exchange with the caption, "CAITLIN TRIED TO TIPTOE HER WAY TO THE FIGHT MESSY," along with three crying emojis.

In the clip, Clark appeared to be watching the sideline exchange before turning back to her bench and pretending to mischievously tip-toe toward the two head coaches. Then one of Indiana's assistant coaches pulled Clark back before they could get too far, which caused the rookie to cease her tip-toe routine.
Fans have loved the way that Clark's personality has come out more and more as her rookie season with Indiana has progressed, and this is just another hilarious example of that.
Given Clark's competitive nature, she surely would not have been joking around this way if the scores were reversed and Indiana was about to lose.
Then again, Indiana has looked like one of the WNBA's best teams over the past week. They may not be losing much for the rest of this 2024 regular season.
