It's fine. Everything is fine. None of this is awkward at all.
Things got really awkward between Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and some reporters after the Fever lost to the Seattle Storm on Thursday.
After Indiana finally found its rhythm during a four-game winning streak, the Fever lost back-to-back games. Questionable defense doomed the team against Angel Reese and the Sky. Then, they had no answer for Jewell Loyd, who casually dropped 34 points against them with one eye nearly closed.
Postgame, Caitlin initially fielded a ton of questions from reporters during media availability. But things got intense very fast after Clark asked those in the room to send some questions to Aliyah Boston. In a recently released video, Boston says, “No, no. I’m good,” before Caitlin asks for questions again. (See the 3:38 make of the YouTube video below.)
Three minutes into the presser, all questions were for Caitlin Clark. She fielded all of them, then said to ask questions to Aliyah Boston. Boston waved, "No, I'm good"––Clark then repeated: "Ask Aliyah a question."

Another interesting aspect of this is that the awkward exchange is absent from the Fever’s version of the press conference.
