Caitlin Clark’s Coach Praised For Savage Petty Move Against Chicago Sky That Has WNBA Fans Cheering And Talking All Over Social Media
Caitlin Clark remains out due to an injury, but her team is playing well without her on the court. Of course, it’s a difficult situation for the former No. 1 overall WNBA Draft pick.
“I think the most challenging part of all this is … obviously, I have the first injury, and I sit out four games and then I come back and play really well,” Clark said, while speaking to WNBA legend Sue Bird on her “Birds Eye View” podcast. “I feel really good. Even just the beginning of the year, I played great. My numbers were great. I was shooting the ball well and then I get hurt.
“I was like, ‘OK, gotta get healthy, whatever,’ I gotta do what I can to be back where I was. … As an athlete, you’re like, I don’t wanna be soft. So I think that’s been the hardest part, the stop-and-go of everything.”
The Fever, meanwhile, have been playing well without her, beating the Sky, 92-70, on Saturday evening. Fever head coach Stephanie White was praised for her “petty” move during that game.
