News summary

Caitlin Clark continues to impress in her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, where she averages 18 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, breaking records along the way. Meanwhile, DiJonai Carrington of the Connecticut Sun faced backlash after a disrespectful meme surfaced, replacing George Floyd's image with hers and Caitlin Clark's with that of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer convicted in Floyd's murder. Carrington condemned the meme as 'sick' and criticized Fever fans for their hostility following the Sun's loss to the Fever. This incident highlights the troubling trend of using serious social issues for online trolling, particularly against athletes. Despite the controversy, Clark has remained focused on her performance, recently setting a WNBA rookie record for three-pointers in a game. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the intersection between sports, social justice, and online behavior.
