Caitlin Clark continues to shine in her rookie season. Clark scored 17 points and 6 assists in the Indiana Fever's comeback win against the Minnesota Lynx. Colin Cowherd pleads for Caitlin Clark... 'Don't double down on dumb. Get her on the team. ...

WNBA Hall of Famer and current Dallas Sky broadcaster Sheryl Swoopes responded to a fan on X who accused her of being "unfair" to Caitlin Clark with screenshots of alleged text messages. 

Swoopes' post on Monday showed three images of her messages with a contact named Caitlin Clark that she claims took place on Feb. 5. The first image showed Swoopes apologizing for an incorrect statement about the length of Clark's college career earlier this year.

"Hey Caitlin, I wanted to personally reach out to you and say I made a mistake on what year this is for you, COVID year has me all confused," Swoopes wrote. "I also have nothing but respect for you and your game and appreciate your skill. Congrats on everything you have accomplished thus far. Be blessed."

The next two messages show Clark thanking Swoopes for reaching out and her contributions to the WNBA, and Swoopes returning another message that proclaimed appreciation. 

Swoopes' apology was for an incorrect statement she issued in an appearance on the "Gil's Arena," podcast with former NBA star Gilbert Arenas in February. Swoopes incorrectly said that Clark stayed in college for five seasons and that she took over 40 shots per game while discussing the topic of how Clark broke the NCAA's all-time basketball points record her senior year in 2023.
