INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever finally got the break they needed this week.
Now everyone’s ready to see if four days off will help change their results.
Despite Clark’s selection as WNBA’s rookie of the month for May, she and her new teammates have dealt with all kinds of frustrations – a brutally challenging schedule, limited practice time, the rookie’s seemingly league-wide unwelcoming committee, even sub-par play.
Clark’s biggest fans and the Fever’s most loyal supporters might not have anticipated such a rough start for the WNBA’s highest-profile rookie in years, but the chance to relax, recharge and regroup might be just what everyone needed.
“I think honestly just getting away from basketball, getting some sleep, taking care of my body,” Clark said, explaining what she did on her two off days before returning to a rare practice Wednesday. “I play the point guard spot like I haven’t gotten a lot of practice time with my team and that’s really hard, trying to navigate an offense and you’ve haven’t had much practice time together.”
Statistically speaking, it’s hard to quibble with Clark’s start.
