Caitlin Clark reveals painful reality of WNBA rookie year with FeverCaitlin Clark reveals painful reality of WNBA rookie year with Fever

WNBA fans couldn’t help but feel bad for Caitlin Clark after the Indiana Fever rookie made a stunning revelation about the treatment she’s getting from her fellow players.

On Thursday after facing the Seattle Storm, Clark was asked in the postgame presser about the best advice a veteran player has given to her in a game this 2024 season. In a shocking response, though, the Fever sharpshooter admitted that she has yet to really get an advice for an opposing veteran in the game.

“Nobody gives me advice in games. I wish,” Clark shared.

: “What’s the best advice a vet has given you in [a] game this season?” Caitlin Clark: “Nobody gives me advice in games. I wish.” 👀

Caitlin Clark has been the most popular player in the WNBA ever since the Fever made her the top overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She is must-see TV, which is proven by the insane numbers that Indiana games generate. Her league debut against the Connecticut Sun averaged a record-breaking 2.12 million viewers on ESPN, while a battle with the New York Liberty peaked at 1.55 million viewers on ABC.

However, that popularity has also sparked talks that WNBA vets are jealous of all the attention she’s getting. That narrative has only been further fueled by the treatment she gets from other players, with the most infamous example being Chennedy Carter’s hip-check on her. The Chicago Sky guard came from behind Clark and hit her during a previous meeting, causing the Fever rookie to fall to the floor.

With Clark’s latest revelation about the lack of welcome she has gotten from her peers, that claim that players are hating on Clark will likely run rampant once again.

Perhaps WNBA vets are avoiding Clark since they are just being competitive. That’s normal in sports, especially when it comes to a player with such stature as Clark. She has a target on her back, and given how competitive players are, they’d rather show her how hard it is to thrive in the pros rather than give her tips.
