Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Clark said that in lieu of playing, she’ll be doing her part by heckling the referees a bit. She joked that she would decide how much to heckle them once she learned who was there.
“I think I gotta heckle the refs a little bit,” Clark said. “I don’t know who’s reffing yet, but that’ll determine how much I’m going to heckle them. I mean obviously if they’re at the All-Star game, usually it’s some of the better ones. Maybe I can get a technical or something.”

Clark has had no shortage of run-ins with WNBA officials in the month of July alone. Some have even blamed the officiating for the injury that is causing her to miss the All-Star Game.
Fans certainly appreciated the dig at the officials:
“She’s so damn unserious! OMG Cait..we love you! Hahaha,” one user replied.
“Of course,” another said.
“I hope she gets the first ever technical in an All Star game.”

She showed up on the court for warm-ups wearing a “Pay Us What We’re Worth” t-shirt.
“Honestly, I feel like that’s where we’re really fortunate is that we have those other deals. And I think that’s one of the things we’re in the room fighting for,” Clark said today. “Like (Napheesa Collier) said, we should be paid more and hopefully that’s the case moving forward as the league continues to grow. That’s probably the most important thing that we’re in the room advocating for.”
