INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark slapped the court with both hands and started gesturing in her side's direction after forcing a 5-second call near the end of Tuesday's practice.
It was only Day 2 of training camp, yet this is what Clark has yearned for these past seven months — going back to work with a new coach, a revamped roster and even higher expectations in her second WNBA season.
After leading the Fever to their first playoff berth in eight years, winning the league's Rookie of the Year Award, being named Associated Press 2024 Female Athlete of the Year and Time magazine's 2024 Athlete of the Year, Clark returned to Indianapolis a stronger, wiser player, more determined to win the championship that eluded her in college.
