Recently in an interview, Caitlin Clark was asked about her tough moments in the WNBA. In her very first season, Clark got to know how it would be to be a competitor in the league. She was pushed from the back by Chennedy Carter and Angel Reese hit her in the face. The two incidents have been controversial and caught the attention of fans, media, and experts.

But when asked in the interview, Caitlin said that her contact with a screen caused her the highest pain. The WNBA rookie claimed that she nearly broke her eardrum with the injury. "Honestly, I've been popped on a couple of screens, I actually ruptured my ear drum when we were in New York on a tough screen," said Indiana Fever in the interview.

While Clark felt that screens were good, she added that it was her own fault that led to the injuries. "So, if I have to pick one right now, it'd probably be that. Great screens, I just didn’t hear them. So, it’s kind of my own fault," Clark added in the interview. She was further asked about the rough game she had against the New York Liberty on the 2nd of June earlier this month.

But Caitlin failed to reveal what happened to her. It was personally a bad game for Clark as she could not do well individually. Indiana lost the match by a huge margin of 36 points Clark claimed only 3 points and had a plus-minus of -28. After the bad form in the middle, Caitlin Clark left the arena and never returned to the match. The reporters asked about the intention behind it.

Clark said that she did not know what happened and added that she did not want to explain about it. Clark claimed that she could not hear well in one of her ears. "Honestly, I don't really know. I don’t wanna explain it, it’d probably be pretty gross, but no, I feel fine. I can’t hear great out of one of my ears," Clark added.
