Alarming photo of Caitlin Clark's arm shows the beating she takes during WNBA cat fights

Lost in all the other nonsense in Indiana's win over Chicago earlier this week was Caitlin Clark , once again, showing the WNBA she is easily — easily — the best player in the league.

Clark finished with 37 points and 10 assists in the win, going 8 of 12 from beyond the arc and adding three rebounds.

She was incredible.

She was, frankly, an MVP, even though the WNBA would never, ever allow that to actually happen.

I wrote about it Monday and I'll say it again here — the Sophie Cunningham drama, and ensuing nonsense, has overtaken Clark in a way.

She's been playing second fiddle to Sophie and the mean WNBA girls for a few months now, which I'm sure she's fine with.

CAITLIN CLARK NAMED EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYER OF THE MONTH DESPITE ONLY PLAYING 10 GAMES But when the bright lights come on and the games begin, Caitlin Clark is still the best player by a mile.

And she also takes an absolute beating on the court , which we've seen this season.

She gets scratched, clawed, mugged and, sometimes, choked whenever she touches the court.

Usually, it's all without a whistle.

Now, we have photo evidence.

Take a look: Lordy.

What a picture! Look at those claw marks.

Ted Lasso would be appalled.
