The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

As Griner and the Atlanta Dream faced off against Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever on May 23— with the Dream coming out as the victor— Griner was visibly upset after being fouled for a sixth time. When she returned to the bench, cameras caught her saying something that many interpreted as “f**king trash” or “f**king white girl.”

At the time, fans slammed Brittney Griner for the remark, with many calling on the WNBA to put measures in place to prevent such an occurrence. Brittney Griner has admitted to saying something during a heated moment when her team met Caitlin Clark's team in May, but doesn't remember exactly what was said.
