INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark sees the progress — even as the losses and frustration mount.
On Tuesday night, against the WNBA's only other one-win team, the Indiana Fever rookie strung together her most complete game yet by scoring a season-best 30 points, dishing out six assists and grabbing five rebounds in her most complete performance yet despite losing 88-82 to the Los Angeles Sparks.
“I think I just played with an aggressive mindset,” she said. “I think that was the biggest thing — to play downhill the best I could. We did some good things and then we just kind of shot ourselves in the foot.”
It's been that kind of season, so far, for the former Iowa star and her new teammates.
