On Wednesday night, she scored or assisted on 45 points, the most by a rookie in a playoff game in WNBA history. Caitlin Clark has done so much for the Indiana Fever franchise. The Fever reached the playoffs for the first time since 2016, with Clark named first-team All-WNBA and expected to win Rookie of the Year honors.
The Indiana Fever has a young team and Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull slowly built chemistry with each other after the Olympic break. Caitlin Clark played much better and Mitchell’s production exploded, averaging nearly 25 points over the final 13 games. Coach Christie Sides settled on a consistent rotation and the team started gaining trust and chemistry and in return winning games after a poor 1-8 start to the season. The Fever did end up 20-20 after the end of the season and finished 6th.
What Is Next for Caitlin Clark this Offseason?
So what will Caitlin Clark do this offseason? Not a whole lot. She mentioned that she is not competing overseas. She will take some time to hit the reset button during the offseason. As Clark said, “I feel like basketball has really consumed my life for a year. So I feel like it’ll be good for me to kind of reflect back on everything that’s happened.” She has no plans to pick up a basketball in the coming weeks. But she jokingly said “maybe ill become a professional golfer.”
