Summary
Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry said Caitlin Clark should "protect yourself" and stop letting opponents "punk" her as criticism grows over her appeals to referees after contact.
Horry framed the advice as a response to repeated physical play against the Indiana Fever guard, saying top players get targeted and citing Shaquille O'Neal as an example of someone who eventually hit back.
Clark, 24, has taken several hard fouls in her first three WNBA seasons, fueling fan debate over whether defenders are intentionally roughing up one of the league's biggest stars.
Indiana enters that scrutiny at 6-5 after Clark's game-winning 3-pointer in a 78-76 win over Washington; through 10 games, she is averaging 18.7 points and 8.7 assists.
