Caitlin Clark Shares Heartfelt Tweet After Historic Rookie Season: ‘See You All in Year Two’
Clark averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game, showcasing her all-around brilliance on the court. Her performances earned her the prestigious AP WNBA Rookie of the Year award, and she even finished fourth in the MVP voting. Despite the challenges her team faced early in the season, Clark helped lead a mid-season turnaround, propelling Indiana to a strong finish and a playoff berth.
While her on-court performances grabbed headlines, Clark’s rookie season wasn’t without its difficulties. Toward the latter part of the season, reports surfaced of online abuse directed at Clark and her teammates. Rival players also expressed frustration at some of the fan behavior, prompting discussions around the need for better moderation and accountability in online spaces.
Sun forward Alyssa Thomas spoke out against the abuse, saying, "It’s unacceptable, honestly. There’s no place for it... something needs to be done, whether it’s them checking their fans, or this league checking."
Clark, addressing these issues in her exit interview, emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive environment for players and fans alike. She condemned the offensive comments and highlighted the responsibility of uplifting the WNBA community, stating, "Those aren’t fans, those are trolls, and it’s a real disservice to the people in our league, the organization, and the WNBA."
After playing basketball for nearly 12 consecutive months, starting from her collegiate days with the Iowa Hawkeyes to her first season in the WNBA, Clark has decided to take a much-needed break during the off-season.
Her decision not to participate in the Unrivalled League with fellow WNBA star Angel Reese marks the first extended period of rest for the rookie in nearly a year. The Fever’s season opener in 2024 was followed by a grueling schedule, with Clark leading the team both on and off the court. Her workload was heavy, and the break came as a well-deserved respite after a whirlwind year.
