Indiana Fever’s rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has been lighting up the WNBA in her debut season, delivering jaw-dropping performances night after night. With an impressive average of 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game, all while shooting 40.5% from the floor and 32.7% from beyond the arc, Clark has certainly made her mark. Her stellar play earned her an All-Star selection, a rare feat for a first-year player.
Yet, despite her on-court wizardry, Clark won’t be donning the red, white, and blue in Paris this summer. Team USA, which selected its roster early in the season, didn’t include Clark, who was still acclimating to the pro game at the time. No worries, though—Clark will be back and ready to torch opponents post-Olympics, with a chip the size of Indiana on her shoulder.
Clark’s next showdown is set for August 16 against the Phoenix Mercury, a month-long break that will either leave her rusty or even more explosive—our money’s on the latter. This unorthodox rest period might be just what Clark needs to fine-tune her game and lead the Fever on a playoff charge. Currently sitting in the No. 7 spot, Indiana’s playoff hopes are flickering, but Clark’s late-season heroics could very well ignite a fever pitch.
