Jason Whitlock is drawing the ire this week of an Indiana Fever player.<\/p>\n
The Fever played on Sunday against the Seattle Storm at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Wash. Indiana won by a final score of 78-74 to improve to 17-12 on the season.<\/p>\n
During the game, veteran sports personality Jason Whitlock made a seemingly unprompted comment about the appearance of Fever guard Aari McDonald. Whitlock suggested that McDonald was wearing a wig and said that it \u201clooks crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAny female WNBA fans give me an opinion on Aari McDonalds wig?\u201d wrote Whitlock on X. \u201cLooks crazy to me. But I\u2019m no expert.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDonald herself then proceeded to fire back at the post from Whitlock. She clarified that she did not actually wear a wig and called Whitlock \u201cvery lame for commenting on a woman\u2019s appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLOL I usually don\u2019t respond to foolishness like this, but I couldn\u2019t help myself this time,\u201d McDonald wrote in a quote-post. \u201cYou\u2019re very lame for commenting on a woman\u2019s appearance and for your information it\u2019s not a wig. Don\u2019t make me get @stephenasmith. Stay blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old McDonald, a former No. 3 overall pick, finished Sunday\u2019s game with nine points, four rebounds, and nine assists. She is averaging 9.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game overall this season and has been getting increased run lately in the continued absence of Caitlin Clark (groin).<\/p>\n
As for Whitlock, formerly of FOX Sports, he has a long history of making controversial comments and sparking anger from professional athletes. Even Allen Iverson once took aim at Whitlock in a profane rant<\/a>.<\/p>\n
