What Kept Caitlin Clark From Addressing the Media After Her Record-Breaking Game?
In a thrilling 88-82 win over the Phoenix Mercury, Indiana Fever’s star rookie Caitlin Clark showcased her exceptional talent, but she also faced a significant personal challenge. The 22-year-old point guard, who continues to set records in her debut WNBA season, was notably absent from post-game media duties due to a severe migraine.
Clark, who has been a powerhouse for the Fever, reached a new milestone during the game, notching her 138th assist of the season – a franchise record for a rookie. Despite her impressive performance, which included 15 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds, Clark was substituted late in the game. Head coach Christie Sides initially attributed the substitution to strategic reasons, emphasizing the need for a stronger defensive lineup. However, it was later revealed that Clark had been feeling unwell throughout the game.
“Caitlin didn’t feel well throughout the entire game, so she’s with her trainer right now,” Sides confirmed post-game. This migraine, which Clark has battled throughout her career, forced her to skip her usual media responsibilities.
Despite her discomfort, Clark played for 39 minutes and came tantalizingly close to achieving a triple-double, missing it by just one rebound. Her performance drew praise from WNBA veteran Diana Taurasi, who had previously cautioned about the tough transition to the professional league. Taurasi lauded Clark’s dedication and resilience, noting her remarkable progress and the bright future ahead of her.
“It’s amazing what Caitlin has been able to do in her short career so far. It’s just been nothing short of remarkable. The one thing that I really love about her, she loves the game,” Taurasi said. “You can tell she put the work in. Even throughout her short WNBA career, it’s been a lot of pressure, a lot of things thrown at her. She keeps showing up and keeps getting better every single game. Her future is super bright.”
Clark’s performance against a team featuring WNBA legends like Taurasi and Brittney Griner highlights her potential and the significant impact she is already making in the league. Her ability to perform under pressure, despite physical setbacks, sets a strong precedent for her career in professional basketball. As Clark continues to navigate the challenges of her rookie season, her resilience and dedication remain a source of inspiration for fans and fellow athletes alike.
