Just three weeks in, the young 2024 WNBA season has had no shortage of contentious moments thus far.
It all started with the pre-draft chatter from veterans that presumed No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark would have trouble adjusting to the WNBA. Then, there was the hard foul from Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas on rookie Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese that led to an ejection. Last weekend, Sky guard Chennedy Carter said she had "no regrets" about giving Clark a shoulder-check in a game that was upgraded to a Flagrant 1 foul.
All of those events—and more—have triggered countless think pieces, an apology from a popular sports host and plenty of toxic debates normally reserved for men's sports. Amid all that, Los Angeles Sparks center Cameron Brink took a deep breath and addressed those swirling narratives in a recent interview with UPROXX's Megan Armstrong.
