Rookie stars rested and ready for playoff fight

China Daily  

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark reacts to fans in the fourth quarter of a WNBA basketball game against the Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA on July 14, 2024. For Clark and the rest of this year's remarkable rookie class, the nearly monthlong Olympics break was a welcome and perhaps necessary respite before for the final sprint to the playoffs. From the moment college practices opened last fall, these rookies played under a white-hot glare rarely experienced in women's basketball — nightly sellout crowds, soaring ticket prices on secondary markets, record-breaking television ratings and their own incessant desire to live up to growing expectations. "Definitely need a game," Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides said after running a game between her players and the men who practice against them.
