Dallas' Satou Sabally has mixed feelings about number of Caitlin Clark jerseys in arena
There are Caitlin Clark fans everywhere, including Dallas.
Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally noted the pluses and minuses of having a transcendent player like the Fever's Clark join the WNBA.
The positive? The increase in fans.
The negative? The increase in Fever fans in your arena.
"Obviously it's annoying because there were way too many Caitlin fans in our arena but kudos," Sabally said to media after scoring 25 points in a 100-93 loss to Clark and the Fever. "I feel like our Dallas fans could have done better. I had mixed feelings seeing all the Caitlin jerseys in our home but it's an amazing sign for women's basketball."
