Indiana Fever fans, brace yourselves—Caitlin Clark has officially gone from rookie sensation to the queen of the court. The WNBA’s rising star was crowned the AP Player of the Week, leaving her teammates, fans, and even rivals struggling to keep their jaws off the floor. And let’s not forget the love she’s getting from her own squad—Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith can’t stop singing her praises. But don’t worry, this rookie isn’t letting it get to her head… too much.
Clark’s Not-So-Humble Stats: Clark’s first week back from the Olympic break was nothing short of legendary. She averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and a jaw-dropping 9.2 assists over two games, leading the Fever to a perfect 2-0 record. That’s right—she’s basically doing everything but selling popcorn in the stands. It’s no wonder Boston and Smith are all over Instagram with their “Swaggggg” and “Young n turntttt” posts. Who wouldn’t want to jump on the Clark hype train?
The Queen and Her Court: This isn’t just any Player of the Week award—this is Clark’s first time receiving the honor, and she’s only the second rookie to do it this season. The first? None other than Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. Clearly, 2024 is the year of the rookies, and Clark’s making sure everyone knows it. Move over, veterans—there’s a new sheriff in town, and she’s got a killer jump shot.
Veteran Shenanigans: But it’s not all serious business. Even the seasoned vets are getting in on the Caitlin Clark fun. Katie Lou Samuelson, a WNBA veteran, couldn’t help but share how the rookie is raising the team’s spirits—and their blood pressure. “I feel like I’ve gotten to know Caitlin more and more as the season has gone on,” Samuelson confessed. “She’s definitely gotten more comfortable. She’s one of the funniest people and will always make a sarcastic remark at any chance she can.” A comedian on and off the court? We’re here for it.
Clark’s Competitive Edge—And Baseball Dominance? As if being a basketball prodigy wasn’t enough, Clark apparently dominates at everything she touches, including the team’s post-Olympic break shenanigans. Samuelson jokingly lamented how Clark makes everyone feel bad that they’re not as good at baseball. Yes, you read that right—baseball. Is there anything she can’t do? (The answer, in case you’re wondering, is probably not.)
The Fever’s Future: It’s clear that Caitlin Clark isn’t just a player—she’s a force of nature. And with her leading the charge, the Indiana Fever is set to become the WNBA’s team to watch. Whether she’s dazzling on the court or cracking up her teammates with sarcastic quips, Clark is redefining what it means to be a rookie in the league. The Fever’s chemistry is sizzling, and fans better buckle up because this ride is just getting started.
