Robert Griffin III criticizes WNBA's treatment of Caitlin Clark after injury

Robert Griffin III has publicly criticized the WNBA for its handling of Caitlin Clark after she exited a game against the Phoenix Mercury due to a back injury. Clark was hurt following a hit to her throat from Mercury player Alyssa Thomas, who received a one-game suspension for the incident. Griffin argues that the league has failed to protect its star player despite her significant contributions to its popularity. He emphasized the need for better officiating to protect all players. Clark's return is uncertain as the Fever's head coach, Stephanie White, stated there is no indication of when she might play again. Indiana Fever will take a break following their game against the LA Sparks on June 27, before resuming on July 5.
