Injured Caitlin Clark Takes Bold Trash Talk Shot at Napheesa Collier Before WNBA All-Star Game

2 min read

Caitlin Clark is truly one of a kind. Her shooting range has no limits, nor does her passing range.  Even when she was struggling with injuries in the past few weeks, her playmaking was still elite. And she seemed to be getting into her groove against Connecticut, feeling good about her shots. It felt like just a matter of time before we saw the CC that turned up against the New York Liberty. Then she slipped, literally took one wrong step, and reinjured her groin, sidelining her for the All-Star Game.

Even injured, she doesn’t lose an ounce of her edge. Her trash talk is as sharp as ever. At the All-Star Game press conference, Collier dropped the classic line about defense winning games. But Clark, ever the bold and offense-minded point guard, fired back with a sly grin, “Great offense means good defense. Defensive player of the year would say that—she has to.” When Collier teased that the new 4-point shot was added just for Clark, Clark shrugged it off: “It’s not even really that far, though.” For most players, 28 feet is a different zip code. But for Clark? That’s just her day-to-day.
