Much has been made about the way players have been treating Caitlin Clark.
Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young changed that conversation with one move as she was given the task of guarding Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark in Tuesday night’s 88-69 win over the Fever in Las Vegas.
Their matchup was competitive. At one point, Clark slipped while driving to the basket and needed a second to get back on her feet.
Noticing this, Young purposely loosened and re-tied her shoelaces while talking to the Fever rookie.
It was a moment that did not go unnoticed by cameras:
Fans absolutely loved what they were seeing from a veteran player to Caitlin Clark:
“On the air I immediately mentioned how first class this was by #JackieYoung to give #CaitlinClark a chance to re-group. It was a vet move and a sportsmanship move”.
“Just Jackie Young being the absolute sweetheart that she is and looking out for another, a rookie. Because it was never about the false narratives and it’s shown time and time again”.
With the victory, the Aces improved to 11-6 on the season, while the Fever dropped to 8-13. The Aces are currently third in the Western Conference standings, having won their last five games in a row.
Jackie Young is a big reason for that, as she has returned from injury, and the team is now soaring.
In the game against the Fever, however, she scored 15 points on 5 of 16 shooting from the field while launching eight total 3-pointers and only hitting two of them, per ESPN.com.
Caitlin Clark also had a rough night from the field. She scored 13 points on 4-12 shooting and 1-7 from behind the arc. She did dish out 11 assists, but she also had six turnovers and five fouls.
