The Indiana Fever have forged one of the WNBA’s most exciting dynamic duos with their two No. 1 overall picks: forward Aliyah Boston and guard Caitlin Clark. On Friday, August 30, the pair once again dazzled fans, this time against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

Though it took a few games for Boston and Clark to develop their on-court chemistry, they’ve been unstoppable since the WNBA returned from the Olympic break. The Fever have gone 4-1 in their first five games in August, with the duo firing on all cylinders.

But Clark and Boston had a little heated exchange during the Sky game.

When Boston was shouting at what seemed to be a referee, Clark grabbed her by the jersey and pulled her into the Fever’s huddle. Boston was not a fan of this and had some words for her teammate before looking back towards the official.

Earlier in the game, Caitlin Clark was visibly frustrated, barking at the officials and needing to be restrained by an assistant coach. With Clark just two technical fouls away from a suspension, her coaches are likely being extra cautious.

In a surprising moment, Clark grabbed Aliyah Boston during a heated exchange, a move that seemed to catch the usually composed Boston off guard. The former South Carolina star is known for her calm demeanor, so the incident sparked a lot of reactions from WNBA fans on social media.

One fan commented, “Caitlin gotta be careful with that snatching people up. Aliyah Boston DID NOT appreciate that. She was at the officials, but that was a separate anger specifically for CC.”

“Caitlin Clark tries to calm Aliyah Boston down during her crashout”

“Aliyah Boston had to check CC about grabbing her”

“she didn’t have to yank my girl like that”

Both Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston earned spots on the 2024 WNBA All-Star team, and their stellar play has put the Indiana Fever on the brink of a playoff appearance for the first time in eight years. A win would propel the Fever into the sixth seed, as they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Phoenix Mercury.
