INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark already is one of the WNBA's most recognizable players.
So when she made her first road trip last week, the league's top overall draft pick had to adapt. Instead of loading her bag directly onto a plane and boarding, Clark found herself traversing the same lines and waits as everyone else at the Dallas airport — just like most of the league's players.
It's a hassle she wouldn't mind avoiding on future trips and now league commissioner Cathy Engelbert is working on a solution.
One day after Engelbert told a group of sports editors that she's trying to find regular charter flights for all 12 WNBA teams, Clark and her new teammates embraced the move.
