Overview
- Curry called the Hornets’ heavy grabbing and holding “not real basketball,” describing the attention as “aggressive, egregious” after scoring 14 points.
- Caitlin Clark commented on an NBC Sports Bay Area TikTok post, writing, “We want to see Steph making 12 threes a game. Stop grabbing him please.”
- Robin Lundberg suggested Clark’s public plea for Curry could also reflect her experience with persistent contact and pressure in WNBA games.
- Clark has acknowledged opponents are especially physical with her and has still set the WNBA single-season rookie record for three-pointers.
- Curry remains in sneaker free agency after leaving Under Armour and has worn various brands, including Clark’s player‑edition Kobe 6s, with prior Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal reporting linking Clark’s shoe negotiations to tensions in Curry’s Under Armour split.
