Caitlin Clark turns focus back to basketball as training camp opens for Indiana Fever
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark got back to the basics Sunday — working out on a basketball court. “I think that’s what I was most excited for, getting all that other stuff out of the way,” the former Iowa star said as Indiana’s training camp opened. “The draft was amazing, New York City was amazing, Los Angeles was amazing, but I was excited to get here and get back to playing basketball, you know, doing my job.” Over the past two seasons, these WNBA rookies have created the kind of buzz around women’s basketball most fans only dreamed about, and Clark is undisputedly at the head of the class. But the pairing of Clark and Aliyah Boston, the WNBA’s unanimous rookie of the year last season, has turned Indiana into one of the league’s hottest tickets. I’m like ‘OK, I’ll get a touch, just let me get down there’ just because of how well she passes it.” Clark’s transitioning from college ball to the pro level may be speeding up, too.
