The idea has been endorsed by none other than Clark’s boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, who liked posts on X suggesting the Fever needed an enforcer to help protect Clark after the recent foul drama.
The incident in question occurred on Saturday when Sky guard Chennedy Carter delivered a hip-check to Clark, sparking an intense debate on social media. Carter was called for a common foul, but it was later upgraded to a Flagrant-1 violation.
