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.

Atlanta Dream star Brittney Griner denied making a derogatory remark about Caitlin Clark in her team's 81-76 loss to the Indiana Fever on May 22.

The reporter offered Griner the option of watching the video to help refresh her memory, but Griner disagreed that it would help her decipher what she truly said. Griner had a tough game against the Fever, scoring five points and grabbing seven rebounds in the loss.
