Jason Whitlock criticizes media coverage of Caitlin Clark's injury
Summary

Jason Whitlock expressed frustration over the lack of media inquiries regarding Caitlin Clark's health during a presser with Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White. Clark, sidelined with a recurring back injury, was out in the Fever's recent 111-87 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Fever's overall season record stands at 11-8, with Clark's absence contributing to performance challenges.
