Griffin called out Clark's haters after she had a phenomenal performance against the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday.

In the Fever's 93-86 victory, Clark produced her second triple-double of the season, posting 24 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. She's the only rookie in WNBA history to have ever recorded one triple-double, and how now achieved the feat twice.

Clark's stardom has led fans to question her true skill or, potentially, nitpick her game , but Robert Griffin III believes it's time to stop hating on the rookie.

He thinks she has proven to be "what the WNBA needed."

"Caitlin Clark haters been trying ALL YEAR to discredit her," Griffin said. "Using every haterade filled stat or excuse to not show her love she has earned. Now they have no choice but to acknowledge she is what the WNBA needed to go to levels it’s never seen before. Get that hate out your heart."

Clark has been sensational in her rookie season with the Indiana Fever.

She's currently averaging 18.9 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game. The first-year star leads all rookies in average points and leads the WNBA in average assists.

At just 22 years old, Clark has led the Fever franchise back into the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Indiana currently holds an 18-16 record, riding a five-game win streak. The Fever have also won nine of their last 11 games.

As Robert Griffin III explained, she's taken the WNBA to never-before-seen places. The recent attendance report in the WNBA revealed that the Indiana Fever have the highest increase in attendance from last season at +317%.

In Clark's rookie season, the league has also seen its third-highest average attendance at 9,725 fans per game.
