Draymond Green thinks the Indiana Fever need someone on their roster who can protect star rookie Caitlin Clark.
The four-time NBA champion took to social media after the No. 1 overall draft pick was brutally bodychecked and shoved to the ground by Chicago Sky's Chennedy Carter.
'Indiana better go invest in an enforcer… FAST!' he wrote in the comments section of an ESPNW post on Instagram.
Using her own bodyweight to hit Clark, Carter knocked the Iowa alum to the floor as she stood waiting for the inbound.
Although most of Clark's teammates had already headed down the court, nobody on the Fever reacted to Carter's actions, which earned her a personal foul.

Other social media commenters agreed with Green's take.
'Her teammates not retaliating is a problem for me! I'm all for the tough love but her team should at least make her feel safe,' one person wrote on Instagram.
Another chimed in, 'Notice Caitlyn's teammates didn't come to her defense OR even try to help her up?'
A third person wrote, 'They need a Dillon Brooks and a Draymond Green… gotta protect the shooter.'

Meanwhile, Carter took to X, writing, 'we grown asf & y’all talking about enforcer man gtfoh , hoop or shut up.'
Clark, for her part, spoke to reporters after the incident in the third quarter of the Fever's 71-70 win over Chicago Saturday night.
'That's just not a basketball play but I've got to play through it, that's what basketball is about at this level,' she said.
Clark, who shot 4-for-11 from the field, finished with 11 points, and the Fever will attempt to record their first set of consecutive wins this season when they face the Liberty on Sunday at Barclays Center.
