Gabby Williams’ alleged shot at Caitlin Clark not being in the 2026 WNBA Finals explained

A rumour is circulating on social media that Gabby Williams has thrown shade at Caitlin Clark.

The Indiana Fever's first-round exit from the 2026 WNBA playoffs robbed fans of seeing a potential Caitlin Clark vs. Gabby Williams battle in the finals.

Instead, Williams and the Golden State Valkyries have locked horns with Angel Reese's Atlanta Dream and have already taken a 1-0 lead in the series.

Coming back to Williams, a viral rumour on X claims that the French basketball star took a shot at Clark.

Gabby Williams wanting to take revenge for defeat vs. Caitlin Clark is fake

The X handle 'Fever Updates' posted a muted video of Williams from an interview. The post's caption claimed that Williams was seeking revenge for France's 2026 Women's FIBA World Cup defeat against Clark and Team USA.

Many fans may believe this at first glance, but the quote is entirely fabricated, and Williams fired no such dig at Clark or Team USA.

There's no doubt that Williams would've loved to win the gold medal at the FIBA World Cup, but the Valkyries star hasn't disrespected Clark and Team USA players after France's failure.

Either way, fans would love to see a Clark vs. Williams battle in the postseason, but they'll have to wait until next season for it to happen.
