Tyrone Johnson Likens Caitlin Clark to Jeremy Lin After 20-Point Return

7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 13

Tyrone Johnson said Caitlin Clark’s rise will fade like Jeremy Lin’s, arguing after her 20-point season return that she is not the WNBA’s best player or even the top guard from her college class.
Clark opened the season Saturday after playing only 13 games last year because of a groin injury, scoring 20 points but shooting 2-for-9 from 3 and missing a potential tying shot late.
Johnson also criticized Clark’s public profile beyond the court, citing her appearance with Morgan Wallen in Indianapolis and accusing her of constant complaints to referees.
Clark’s résumé still includes a record-setting rookie year with 19.2 points and 8.4 assists after becoming the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, underscoring the gap between Johnson’s take and her impact on women’s basketball.
