On Sunday, the Dallas Wings faced off against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in what was supposed to be a home-court advantage for Dallas. However, one Wings player found herself frustrated by what she perceived as a lack of support from the local fans.
Following the Wings’ 100-93 defeat to Indiana, Dallas forward Satou Sabally expressed her disappointment, noting that she saw an unexpected number of fans in the arena sporting Caitlin Clark’s jersey.
“There were way too many people in Caitlin jerseys,” Sabally commented, clearly annoyed by the sea of Clark supporters who had made their presence known throughout the game.

Clark delivered an impressive performance, racking up 28 points and 12 assists, much to the delight of her vocal fanbase, who erupted in cheers with every big play she made.
It’s worth noting that while Sabally’s frustration was evident, it wasn’t directed at Clark personally. The rookie phenom’s popularity is undeniable, and it’s likely that similar scenes will play out in arenas across the league as her following continues to grow.
Sabally’s comments underscore the unique challenge that teams face when going up against a player who draws such widespread admiration, even in away games.
