Caitlin Clark didn’t just walk away from the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game with a win, she grabbed serious bragging rights over Indiana Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell, and you know she made sure Mitchell heard all about it. After Clark and her squad, Team Spoon, took down Mitchell’s Team Coop 129-122 on Saturday night in Chicago, Clark immediately jumped onto social media. The Indiana Fever’s own account was celebrating the victory, and Clark dropped a playful, one-word message right there for her teammate: “Sorry.” Yeah, it was a joke, but what a way to rub it in!
Mitchell Put On A Show, Clark Helped Seal The Deal
Look, Mitchell has absolutely zero reason to apologize for her performance. The woman went off! She dropped a mind-blowing 28 points, leading all players in scoring on an efficient 11-of-19 from the field. Mitchell wasn’t just scoring either, she added five steals, four rebounds, and two assists for Team Coop. She literally tried to drag her team back into the game, pouring in 12 points in the fourth quarter alone as Team Coop fought to erase a double-digit deficit. Honestly, if Team Coop had pulled off that comeback, Mitchell would have had a compelling case for All-Star Game MVP. That honor ultimately went to New York Liberty’s Jonquel Jones, who was a force for Team Spoon with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Clark, meanwhile, delivered an impressive 17 points herself, dishing out five assists, grabbing four rebounds, and snagging a steal. She drilled five 3-pointers, with three of those bombs coming in the opening quarter, quickly establishing herself as a primary scoring threat for Team Spoon.
The “Sorry” Heard ‘Round The League And What’s Next
This whole temporary rivalry between Clark and Mitchell was pure gold, and you could tell they were loving every second. Remember when Clark buried a three right in Mitchell’s face? The two guards just exchanged grins, and Clark even gave her Fever teammate a playful shove, which, of course, the Indiana team shared online. Clark’s “Sorry” comment just kept that fun going after Team Spoon secured the victory, and fans ate it up! People were quick to point out Clark’s reputation for playfully messing with her teammates, while others rushed to defend Mitchell, rightfully highlighting her status as the game’s leading scorer despite the loss. This lighthearted exchange gave us a fantastic look into the relationship between two players who are absolutely central to the Indiana Fever’s success. Clark’s shooting and playmaking have made her a massive WNBA star, and Mitchell remains one of the league’s most dangerous and consistent scorers. Now, they’re back on the same side, preparing for the second half of the season. While Mitchell dominated the scoring battle, Clark walked out of Chicago with the All-Star win and the final, trolling word. The Fever are back together, and you know they’re ready to get after it.
