The actor Shane Gillis was used to welcome the ESPYs on Wednesday evening, and he had a rude zinger for the star of the Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark during one of his opening monologues.
Gillis, who is also an actor in the Netflix series “Tires”, had a little something for everyone while he was on stage in Los Angeles. Oklahoma City Thunder’s star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Cleveland Browns Shemer Sanders quarterly were also one of the targets.

But Gillis drew the future of Clark after finishing with the WNBA.
“When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she will work in a waffle house so that she can continue to do what she likes most-black women who fight on the fist,” he said to the polished laugh of the crowd.
Clark was not at ESPY on Wednesday when she continues to be assessed following an apparent injury during the team’s victory over the Connecticut Sun. She got out of the ground on Tuesday evening while holding her upper leg and was seen on the tears.

The fever star was to be a captain in the star match and participate in the 3 -point shooting competition. But it all seemed in the air.
“No discussion on this weekend,” said head coach Stephanie White on Wednesday evening. “There was the imagery made, and, obviously, we excluded it for this evening, but there was no discussion beyond this evening.”
Clark suffered a groin injury at the end of the fourth quarter of Indiana’s victory against the sun in Boston on Tuesday evening. White said she didn’t believe it was “reinstatement”. Clark missed time in May due to a quad injury and was recently sidelined for five games with a left groin tension.

“I am not really sure that it is a reintegration as much as a different injury. I often know that when you work with injuries in the groin and the quad and the hamstrings and all these things, there is just – they are all linked together, and it is not always one thing.”
