Clark and the Fever will have a month off from WNBA activities due to the Olympics.
The WNBA’s remarkable season will take a month-long break for the All-Star game and the Paris 2024 Olympics. Teams have already played more than half of their 40 regular-season games, with Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever (11-15) leading the way with 26 games played. Despite a rough start to the season in May, with a record of 1-8, the Fever has turned things around, posting a 10-7 record over the past two months.
Clark Continues to Shine On and Off the Court
Clark’s stellar performances and rising fame have made her the top vote-getter for the All-Star game. The most voted players were Clark (700,735),Aliyah Boston (618,680), A’ja Wilson (607,300), Breanna Stewart (424,135), and Angel Reese (381,518). On the All-Star red carpet in Phoenix, Clark dazzled in an elegant ensemble, showcasing high-end brands that likely came with a hefty price tag but this type of clothing is almost always sponsored by brands, especially now with the fame Clark has gained.
Clark will have the chance to prove that excluding her from the national team for Paris was a significant oversight in tomorrow’s All-Star game at 8:30 p.m. ET against the USAB Women’sNational Team. With this All-Star game expected to be the most watched in WNBA history, Clark’s presence could have boosted viewership for Olympic women basketball as well. However, she now looks ahead to potentially captaining the team for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
Clark Shows Physical Transformation Since Season Start
During the ESPN broadcast of the Fever’s recent game, a 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings, much attention was given to the rookie sensation. A notable observation was made about her physical appearance-Clark has added over two pounds of muscle in the past month. This is crucial as the physical transition from college to the professional league is a significant challenge. Physical trainers focus on aligning rookies with the league’s demands, depending on their capabilities.
This transformation has positively impacted Clark’s game. She, who frequently handles the ball and engages with opponents, is now shooting 71% from within five feet of the basket in July, compared to 56% in previous months. Additionally, Clark ranks third in the league in minutes per game with over 35, leads the league in assists per game with 8.2, and has a total of 213 assists, outpacing the second place by more than 30 assists this season.
