Caitlin Clark thanks supporters in heartwarming message: ‘I am filled with gratitude’
Clark got the Fever to the playoffs and won the AP WNBA Rookie of the Year
Caitlin Clark played basketball for nearly 12 straight months – and what a year it was.
From breaking the NCAA all-time scoring record in women’s college basketball to being the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft to guiding the Indiana Fever to 20 wins and into the postseason, Clark clearly set the world of basketball on fire and definitely kept things interesting during the summer when sports in general usually hit a lull period.

The Fever started 1-8 as the team tried to mix Clark into the offense. Indiana was 11-15 at the Olympic break, but it appeared the team was putting work in the gym.
Indiana came out firing on all cylinders, winning seven of its first eight games after they returned from the break. The Fever earned the sixth seed in the playoffs but were swept by the Connecticut Sun.

Clark averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. She was named the AP WNBA Rookie of the Year and finished fourth in WNBA MVP voting.
