Portnoy, a self‑proclaimed Fever fan, claimed that after a Barstool Live segment in which he criticized former Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, Clark cut off contact. He said the incident began when Barstool personality Rico Bosco handed him a phone to call a McCaffery family member, which ended poorly.
Clark, preparing for her third WNBA season, has not responded to Portnoy’s attempts to arrange a pizza review in Indianapolis. The dispute highlights tensions between Barstool hosts and the Fever’s star.
