Whenever there’s something about the W’s “Ponytail Pete,” hot takes are inevitable—and Skip Bayless is always at the top of the list. So, when Caitlin Clark’s comeback from her injury became highly anticipated, Bayless couldn’t help but dive right into the conversation with his unique yet controversial take. And that’s when he claimed the W is “lying about her injury,” saying, “Literally she doesn’t even know. Like, it’s just like a day-by-day legit type of a thing.” And if you believe him, CC is simply taking a short break from the mental pressure she faces in the league. But is she?
Not really, if you ask Sophie Cunningham. As CC’s guardian angel, after hearing all these claims, she couldn’t help but respond—and what’s better than her very own podcast show? So in a recent episode of Show Me Something, she shared, “When you’re an elite-level player, you not being able to play is the hardest part. Mentally, physically, emotionally”.
That’s exactly what Stephanie White has been echoing since July 15, when CC went out after with her right groin injury. Also, remember her missing shots from 22 feet? For a player who seamlessly shoots from 27 to 35 feet, that’s unbelievable. So it was evident she wasn’t at 100 percent when she was on the floor. And above all, as a player, you really can’t leave your team—especially one already hit hard by injuries—right?
