WNBA Faces Major Backlash over Caitlin Clark Snub Which Has Fans Puzzled

The 30-player commemorative poster sparked criticism after fans said the league left out several marquee names and included only 20 players.

  • On Wednesday, the WNBA unveiled a commemorative poster for its 30th anniversary season, triggering immediate backlash for excluding Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, the league's most recognizable star.
