WNBA fans are voicing growing alarm following reports of an alleged stalker incident involving Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark during the USA Basketball Women’s National Team training camp at Duke University.The camp, held December 12-14, 2025, marked Clark’s senior national team debut as she returned from an injury-plagued 2025 season. Alongside rising stars like Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and JuJu Watkins, Clark participated in drills under head coach Kara Lawson, preparing for the 2026 FIBA World Cup.
Social media buzzed with concern after fans shared claims that a stalker appeared at the team’s hotel. One viral post included a screenshot alleging the individual approached the facility, prompting heightened security. “Poor Caitlin 😢 this fan says that Caitlin Clark’s stalker came to the training camp hotel 😖,” read one widely shared tweet, amassing hundreds of likes and replies expressing outrage.
This incident echoes Clark’s prior experience: In January 2025, a 55-year-old Texas man, Michael Lewis, was arrested in Indianapolis for sending threatening and sexually explicit messages. He was later sentenced to 2.5 years in prison.
Fans reacted strongly online: “Why can’t everybody just leave her the f*ck alone?” one wrote, while another said, “Can we please start taking women’s safety serious omg.” Some called for better protections, with comments like “She should be allowed to shoot people” reflecting frustration.
USA Basketball and the Fever have not commented officially. Clark, known for her composure, was seen with security during camp—a precaution sources say is standard given her fame and past threats.
As women’s basketball surges in popularity, fueled by Clark’s stardom, incidents like this highlight the darker side of fame. Fans hope for swift action to ensure players’ safety.
