Caitlin Clark’s candid admission on the WNBA season’s comeback.

This season, the rookie for the Indiana Fever is averaging 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game.

In less than two weeks, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will return to the floor after the WNBA took a break for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Has Caitlin Clark had a chance to recuperate over the Olympics?
Clark recently told the media about her expectations for the rest of the season following a practice session.

I appreciate you seeing.

Clark admitted that she has benefited from the hiatus, which has helped her recuperate from the season’s physical challenges.

“I’m just going to try to come back and compete and hopefully have a little more legs under me,”Clark said.

“Get a little more sleep beneath me. I think I’m ready to resume my playing, but I think that’s only because it’s all I’ve really known for the past few years.”

The rising star has made a significant impact in women’s basketball since she was a standout player for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 2020 to 2024.

As the number one choice in the 2024 draft, Clark came into the WNBA with high expectations as a “generational talent.”
Clark has led the Fever in both scoring and assists per game in her first campaign, averaging 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game despite the pressure.

She was one of only two rookies chosen for the Team WNBA All-Star game roster, along with forward Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky.
Caitlin Clark wants to be named Rookie of the Year.
While expressing her preparedness to compete again, Clark also alluded to her continuing dispute with Reese for Rookie of the Year.

Reese is a vital member of the Sky, averaging 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds this season.

Making it to the playoffs is the Fever’s current top priority.

Since 2016, while former MVP and 10-time All-Star Tamika Catchings was still a member of the team, the Fever have missed the playoffs.

The squad has only won double digits twice in the last seven seasons, with a season’s maximum of 13 wins.

With 26 games completed and 14 left in 2024, the Fever are now sitting at 11-15, good for seventh place with eight teams qualified for the postseason.

Although they are virtually tied for ninth place with the Chicago Sky (10-14), they have the minor advantage in percentage points.

Additionally, they continue to lead the ninth-place Atlanta Dream (7-17) by three games.

With Clark at the forefront, the Fever want to strengthen their defense and push hard for the postseason as the WNBA season gets back underway.

When the Fever play the Phoenix Mercury on August 16 at 7:30 p.m. ET, Clark will have an opportunity to assess her performance following her hiatus.
