The Indiana Fever had a particularly lighthearted postgame presser after a huge win over the Connecticut Sun, which means there was plenty of room for Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull’s shenanigans.
It’s likely fair to assume the Fever were feeling pretty good about its win over the Sun, especially Caitlin and Lexie. Caitlin had a stellar night and even found Lexie during the fourth quarter for a beautiful crosscourt assist. Their chemistry on and off the court is undeniable.
Postgame, Lexie, Caitlin and Kelsey Mitchell were answering questions during media availability when Lexie unintentionally joked about defensively hustling for basketballs. Immediately, Caitlin recognized the double entendre and could barely keep it together. Kelsey, too, was fighting to stifle her laughs and the whole sequence is hysterical. (Warning: very NSFW language.)
Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull giggle over NSFW innuendo at press conference
Indiana Fever stars Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull shared a laugh at the post-game press conference after Clark couldn’t contain her reaction to a NSFW innuendo.
Deep down, we are all still children, and there are some things that will make us laugh regardless of how old we get or what setting we are in. Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, and Kelsey Mitchell reminded us of that on Wednesday night.
After the game, Clark, Hull, and Mitchell met with the media for the post-game press conference when hilarity ensued.
Hull was asked a question about her defensive prowess when she explained always wanting to be in the right position, especially knowing she was undersized in her one-on-one matchup.
That’s when Hull said she just wanted to “get my hands on as many balls as I could,” Caitlin Clark hit the room with a *pause* and everyone started to giggle.
Sometimes you just have to let the laughter out.
NSFW innuendos are timeless, and they’re going to get that reaction nine times out of ten. The one time that you don’t get a laugh, you need to re-evaluate your company.
Mitchell led the Fever in scoring in their big win with 23 points, while Clark recorded 19 points of her own to go with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Clark also set the WNBA rookie record for most three-pointers in a season.
Hull, meanwhile, got the start on Wednesday night and made the most of her opportunity, adding 17 points and 8 rebounds, while going 3/4 from beyond the arc.
The Fever return to action on Friday, August 30, on the road in a highly-anticipated game against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
