Caitlin Clark’s impact on and off the court is a beacon of hope for the Indiana Fever and an exciting story for WNBA fans around the world. As the season progresses, all eyes are on Clark to see if they can pull off an upset this season and advance to the playoffs.

In her 22 WNBA games with the Indiana Fever, Clark averages 16 points per game, ranks third in the league with 7.1 assists per game and contributes 5.7 rebounds per game. Her weakness continues to be turnovers, with 5.5 per game.

In addition to her high numbers on the court, Caitlin Clark has broken marketing, ratings and sales records. The rookie is shining and shutting mouths not only with her game, but also with her charisma and personality in the basketball world.

While the Indiana Fever’s overall record of 9-13 is nothing to brag about, the team has shown increased cohesion and understanding as they prepare for the second half of the season and aim for a playoff berth.

The Fever will have some time to rest, with their next game scheduled for Wednesday against the Washington Mystics. After that, they will play three more games before the month-long break for the Paris Olympics.
