Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is loving watching Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever surge down the homestretch of the WNBA season.
Clark posted a triple-double in Wednesday's 93-86 win over the Los Angeles Sparks, finishing with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. James responded to the performance in an Instagram story and said "Hi HATERS!!!!!!"
The message mirrored what James wrote on X after Clark had 31 points and 12 assists in a 100-81 victory over Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Aug. 30.
Clark and the Fever caught plenty of critical takes amid the team's 1-8 start to the season. The No. 1 overall pick wasn't an immediate sensation in the WNBA like many expected, and Indiana looked to be out of the playoff race within the first month.
Now, the Fever are postseason-bound for the first time since 2016, while Clark has built what should be a clear lead on Reese in the Rookie of the Year race. They've undoubtedly silenced their loudest doubters.
