Caitlin Clark's Fever teammate NaLyssa Smith starts brawl in Chinese women's basketball league

[RandySF]

Smith, drafted by the Fever in 2022, partakes in a common practice among WNBA players who head overseas during the offseason to fill financial gaps left by their salaries in the W.

Smith recently signed with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Women’s Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA) after playing the last few years in Turkey and got off to a hot start in her first season in East Asia.

Zheijiang played against Inner Mongolia in a preseason scrimmage when Smith got elbowed by her defender while fighting for a rebound. In response, the Baylor product aggressively threw the ball to her opponent's back.

Her reaction did not go well with the Inner Mongolia bench, who all rushed to the court to defend their teammate. Tempers appeared to escalate before other players stepped in to diffuse the situation.

2. What does CC have to do this?

Her name should be left out of it. It's merely there as click bait.
