Tiffany Hayes Draws Scrutiny After Replying With to Fan's 'Ride at Dawn' Comment on Caitlin Clark

Golden State guard Tiffany Hayes came under fire after screenshots showed her replying " that’s real" to a fan who wrote that cousins would "ride at dawn upon request" in a post widely read as targeting Caitlin Clark.
The backlash followed Friday’s Fever-Valkyries game, where Clark scored 22 points and 9 assists in Indiana’s 90-82 win and exchanged words with Hayes after a deep 3-pointer.
Hayes also was caught on a hot mic before postgame media saying, "They’re never going to start calling a foul on her," a remark many fans took as referring to Clark.
The episode puts pressure on the WNBA’s 2025 "No Space for Hate" initiative, which promised tougher monitoring of online abuse and threatening comments; the league did not immediately respond to questions about a review.
