It doesn’t seem Candace Parker is going to cry many tears for Caitlin Clark over the rough play she at times receives in the WNBA … ’cause the women’s basketball legend tells TMZ Sports she believes it’s all part of being a superstar in the league.
We caught up with the three-time champ out in Beverly Hills this week and had to ask about all the claims that Clark is being unfairly roughed up by her peers on the court … and Parker made it clear, she doesn’t necessarily see an issue.
Is this what the wnba is allowing to happen to Caitlin Clark ? What kind of defense is this ? Where are all the foul calls??? This is not football. Like and share please 🔥🔥🔥🚨🚨#WNBA pic.twitter.com/b50oFQB5QI

The ex-Sparks forward told us “star players aren’t ever treated fairly” — and while she didn’t expound much more on her thoughts … it’s pretty obvious she thinks hard fouls come with the territory of being dubbed the face of the W.
That said, Parker raved about Clark’s game … and praised her for already matching her mark of three career triple-doubles.
“It’s awesome,” the 39-year-old said. “It’s great. I think she has so many more years to come of greatness. So it’s been good watching her play.”
Unfortunately for Parker and the rest of Clark’s fans, it’ll be a few more days before the Indiana Fever guard lights up the floor again … she’s still sidelined for a couple weeks with a quad injury.
