The media’s coverage of Caitlin Clark continues to be a topic of scrutiny, particularly following a recent incident involving veteran sports reporter Gregg Doyell during her introductory press conference.
However, on Friday, Clark successfully made her WNBA debut, impressively scoring 21 points in her first preseason game.
Prior to her debut, another media member raised eyebrows by asking Clark if her “bae” would be attending the game, referring to her boyfriend.
Reporter: “Is bae gonna be here?”
Caitlin Clark: “Huh, no. He’s working… I’m flying solo. Guess I better get used to it, right?” ?
The question sparked backlash from other media members, who criticized the journalist for delving into Clark’s personal life.
Caitlin Clark handles herself like a true pro.
