Caitlin Clark has endured a rough welcome to the WNBA.

The Former Iowa Hawkeyes point guard, a two-time College Player of the Year who led the program to consecutive national title games, is hardly having the best time in the pros following the Indiana Fever making her the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft.

Clark has found the wins hard to come by, experiencing just two from her first 11 games. She’s also been treated to some harsh fouls, with the latest coming from the Chicago Sky’s Chennedy Carter, who is still in the news because of it.

“I had expectations of them and they weren’t meeting them,” Clark added.

While not a great look for Caitlin Clark, it does appear that she has matured. Still, there was never any chance of such an attitude following her to the WNBA, as her teammates would never tolerate it coming from a rookie.
