Caitlin Clark’s first game back from the WNBA’s Olympic break was a big one, as she put up 29 points and 10 assists in the Fever’s 98-89 victory over Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury on Friday.
Clark’s 29 points fell just one short of her career high. The No. 1 pick in last April’s WNBA draft actually had a chance to break that in the final seconds but instead of trying to get off a shot, she casually let the shot clock run out and handed the ball to the referee, and took the turnover since the game was basically over.

Fans loved that move from Clark, as she easily could have attempted to launch a shot and try to top her career high.
This is why I so respect Caitlin Clark shes classy.
