WNBA star Marina Mabrey has claimed she is ‘dammed if I do, dammed if I don’t’ in the aftermath of her viral clash with Caitlin Clark.
Indiana Fever superstar Clark found herself at the center of a shocking bust-up after she was jabbed in the eye by Connecticut’s Jacy Sheldon before being pushed over by Marina Mabrey.
The incident quickly sent shockwaves around the sport and reignited conversations around Clark’s treatment by her WNBA rivals.
Tennis legend Chris Evert, Stephen A. Smith and Dave Portnoy were among those to wade into the debate and now Mabrey has broken her silence on the backlash.
She appeared on a live stream alongside Connecticut teammate Saniya Rivers. In a clip, that appeared on social media, the pair appear to be responding to comments about the incident.
‘Well, damned if I do, damned if I don’t,’ Mabrey says before dapping up Rivers, who is left in hysterics over her comment.

Clark’s enforcer Sophie Cunningham (second from left) also got involved in a melee
Fouls were committed across the court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as the Fever came out on top against the Sun on Tuesday.
Multiple brawls, sparked by attacks on Fever superstar Clark, broke out leading to the ejections of players from both sides.
Despite the shocking scenes, however, the league announced Wednesday that no players will face suspensions for their part in the scuffles.
But Clark’s teammate Sophie Cunningham was fined by the league after her furious reaction to the fracas.
Later in the came, with Sheldon racing towards the hoop after a steal in the final minute, Cunningham wrapped her arms around Sheldon’s head and pulled her by her neck to the ground.
Another scuffle ensued, with Connecticut’s Lindsay Allen running over to defend her teammate and Sheldon popping straight up to shove Cunningham.
Ultimately, Cunningham, Sheldon, and Allen were all ejected. A section of Clark‘s fans have urged the Indiana Fever star to leave the WNBA following the latest incidents.
