Caitlin Clark has transformed women’s basketball, and Doc Rivers recently lauded the Indiana Fever guard with a bold admission. He compared Clark to the likes of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo, claiming that she has the same influence as the NBA superstars to fill out arenas. Shortly after dissecting her style of play, highlighting how her long-range shooting often eclipses her passing skills, Rivers further commented on Clark’s growing stardom. According to him, no one in basketball is currently a bigger name than Caitlin Clark. "Caitlin Clark is Pistol Pete. In college, everyone was mesmerized by her shooting and I'm like it's the least of her game, it's her passing," Rivers said on "The Bill Simmons Podcast."“When you watch Caitlin Clark's team play, they run the floor. You know why? They know they're gonna get the ball,” he added. “They make cuts because they know they're gonna get the ball and that's what a superstar does. She may be the biggest superstar in basketball right now.” Rivers showered Clark with such lofty compliments during an appearance on Wednesday, a day after the latter was involved in a heated scuffle. During the third quarter of the Indiana Fever’s Commissioner’s Cup matchup against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday, Clark was poked in the eye by Jacy Sheldon. Further escalating the incident was Sun’s Marina Mabrey, who shoved the Fever guard to the ground.

Additionally, Lexie Sheldon's foul was upgraded to a flagrant 1. Ultimately, the Fever cruised to a comfortable 88-71 victory.
