Caitlin Clark Reveals Most 'Fun' Part Of WNBA Rookie Season
Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark recently spoke on the most "fun" part of her WNBA rookie season. The Fever are currently in Phoenix, set to play against Diana Taurasi and the Mercury at 3:00 ET Sunday.
"Yeah, it's fun. It's also really cool for myself to go around to all these new arenas... It's fun for me to come to these new cities, these new arenas and see the fans and just their excitement, just watching warmups... It's a unique experience to go to each city and soak it in," Clark said via Desert Wave Media on X.
Clark entered the professional atmosphere as one of the most popular women's basketball players in the country. She's mentioned that it's important for her to make an impact on the game of basketball and she's accomplished that goal.

The game between the Fever and Mercury will be featured on ESPN. All eyes will be on Clark and Taurasi as they face off for the first time in the WNBA.
Clark and the Fever have already drawn insane attention to the league. They've had games surpassing 2 million viewers and are also at the top of the league in terms of average viewership.
With the attention comes pressure for Clark, but she's had a quality rookie season with an average of 16.2 points and 6.6 assists. There may be some struggles in the efficiency category, but Clark explained she's still having "fun" through the process.
