The WNBA schedule is currently on hold for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with the league taking a break until August 15th. This pause offers players a valuable chance to recharge, especially those from the 2024 WNBA Draft class who have had little downtime since their collegiate seasons.

Among them is Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, whose break was slightly extended due to her participation in All-Star Weekend. Clark enjoyed her time in Phoenix, where she was warmly welcomed during her first All-Star Game.

Expressing her gratitude for the city, Clark commented on Instagram with a simple yet heartfelt message to Mercury guard Sophie Cunningham: “Shoutout Phoenix.”

“Shoutout Phoenix,” Clark wrote, highlighting her appreciation for the city.

During the All-Star Game, Cunningham was caught on ESPN mics openly recruiting Clark, asking her if she’d like to join the Phoenix Mercury. The exchange between the two players added a fun twist to the game and generated buzz about potential future team changes.

Caitlin Clark’s recent remarks about Phoenix have been making waves online, but they mostly reflect her genuine admiration for this year’s All-Star Game host city. Clark dazzled with a rookie-record 10 assists during the All-Star Game, playing a pivotal role in Team WNBA’s victory over Team USA. Her standout performance in Phoenix has been a highlight, and now she gets a well-deserved break to recharge for what promises to be an exhilarating second half of the WNBA season.

As the league heads into the break, the Indiana Fever find themselves at 11-15, currently holding the seventh seed in the playoffs. With the top eight teams making the postseason, Indiana would be in if the season ended today.
