Clark’s Appearance with Wallen Draws Criticism
Clark, who scored 20 points with seven assists and five rebounds in the game, joined Wallen for his concert walkout. Barstool Sports posted a clip of the moment on X, prompting a range of responses from social media users.
Some criticised Clark for the appearance, particularly after the Fever’s defeat. One X user wrote that Clark didn’t get back on defense and missed a three-pointer at the end of the game.
Others raised concerns about Clark’s association with Wallen, referencing the controversy surrounding his use of a racial slur in 2021. One X user wrote, “She walks out with a racist? Not a good look.”

However, not all responses were negative. One user described Clark and Wallen as “Two GOATS.”
Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham showed her support for Clark, calling her a “bada—b—-” on her Instagram Story.
