Basketball fans are thrilled with the news Caitlin Clark is going to the WNBA. Clark’s news even caught the attention of WNBA great Sheryl Swoopes, who also expressed her excitement Thursday during season-opening Athletes Unlimited games.
Sheryl Swoopes’ name has been flying through news cycles since she made comments weeks ago surrounding Caitlin Clark’s journey to the WNBA and breaking Kelsey Plum’s scoring records. Her comments had several inaccuracies in them and that caused an uproar with fans. Swoopes has since apologized, and on a recent Athletes Unlimited broadcast, she took the time to recognize Caitlin for making the decision to join the WNBA.
Here’s what Swoopes shared with viewers:
“I don’t know who’s more relieved, Caitlin or her fans (or the WNBA), but I mean, great news for the league, great news for women’s basketball. Best of luck. It’s going to be an exciting time wherever she ends up going…
It is not just good for women’s college basketball. It is, to your point, good for women’s basketball in general. And Caitlin has had that effect on the game.”
