Caitlin Clark can breathe a whole lot easier after her stalker received his lengthy prison sentence earlier this year.

Michael Lewis — the 55-year-old man accused of stalking and harassing Caitlin — was sentenced to 2.5 years behind bars.

A native of Denton, Texas, Lewis was arrested at a hotel and has been charged with a Level 5 felony after sending the Indiana Fever guard a series of disturbing messages.

The Texas-native never wavered in his guilt, as displayed in January when he had multiple outbursts during his first appearance in court and shouted out that he was “guilty as charged.”

TMZ is now dropping damning bodycam footage of the FBI approaching Lewis. He told them he had nothing more than “an imaginary relationship” with her – just days before his arrest – according to newly released police bodycam footage.

The video was recorded outside an Indianapolis hotel room on January 8, where authorities confronted Michael Lewis after he displayed disturbing online activity on social media towards Caitlin Clark for weeks.

 

Surrounded by FBI agents and Indianapolis police, Lewis insisted he was in town on vacation. He even allowed officers to search his room, pointing out he had no weapons or dangerous materials.

“It’s just an imaginary relationship,” Lewis said on camera about Caitlin Clark. “It doesn’t involve any threats. Just a play fun thing.”

Despite repeated warnings to stop posting about Clark, Lewis continued his behavior.

Caitlin Clark Remains Silent And Sidelined

On January 12, he was arrested and charged with felony stalking and misdemeanor harassment, according to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. Soon, the world would know how he looked once his mugshot was released.

In addition to time in a cell, Lewis was ordered to avoid contact with Clark and to stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Indiana Fever Events, and Pacers Organization Events.

Prosecutors said Clark gave her approval of the plea agreement.

In the meantime, Clark has missed over 20 games in the 2025 season due to a series of injuries.

The Fever have lost guards Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald, and Sophie Cunningham for the year to season-ending injuries, leaving many fans wondering when Caitlin Clark will return to the court after her extended absence.

Clark is set to miss her 14th consecutive game due to a right groin injury when the Fever takes on the Minnesota Lynx.

There’s no official timetable for Clark’s return.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
