United StatesFormer NBA doctor Dr. Nicholas DiNubile has expressed concerns about the physical treatment of WNBA star Caitlin Clark, citing multiple incidents of controversial contact during her career. These include eye pokes, a ruptured eardrum, and being hit in the throat by opposing players. DiNubile warns that continued exposure to such contact could lead to serious long-term health issues for Clark. He criticizes the WNBA's officiating, noting that opponents have received 10 flagrant foul calls against Clark in her first 71 games. While some of Clark's injuries stem from non-contact causes, DiNubile argues that the frequency and nature of the contact exacerbate her risk of injury.
