Caitlin Clark just delivered a record-breaking performance, shattering the WNBA’s rookie single-season scoring record. To top it off, the Fever won the game and secured the No. 6 seed in the playoffs.
However, you might not have noticed the aftermath if you were following Indiana forward NaLyssa Smith’s activity on X!
Smith started strong in the recent game, scoring eight points and grabbing three rebounds in the first half. This prompted an online reaction from Dijonai Carrington, who is in a relationship with Smith.
Unfortunately, the momentum didn’t last!
NaLyssa was pulled from the game in the third quarter and didn’t return, finishing the second half without any points.
After the game, she responded to Carrington’s post with a cheeky remark: “Fun while it lasted babe,” while watching teammates Tiffany Mitchell and Caitlin Clark each score 30 points from the bench. This comment has since been deleted.
The response sent Indiana Fever fans into a frenzy, with many calling for her to lose her roster spot. The drama intensified due to the growing rivalry between Dijonai Carrington and star Caitlin Clark. Smith’s reply not only seemed to support a rival but also undermined her own team.
As the Fever gear up for their playoff appearance, this storyline has added unnecessary tension. After a rough start of 2-9 in May, Indiana has turned things around with an impressive 18-10 record over the last three months.
It’ll be interesting to see how Clark and her teammates perform and if NaLyssa Smith faces any fallout from her online remarks.
