It’s been exactly two weeks since Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever won their exciting season opener by one point. After the game, Chennedy Carter’s hard foul on Clark was upgraded to a Flagrant 1, and Carter said she had “no regrets.”
The two teams meet again on Sunday, but since then, the debate surrounding Kaitlyn Clark has only intensified, including her exclusion from the U.S. Women’s Olympic Team. Through 14 games, Clark is averaging 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and six assists per game, while the Sky’s Angel Reese is having an impressive rookie season of her own, averaging 12.2 points and 10 rebounds per game.
