Caitlin Clark was surprisingly not included on the squad representing the USA at the 2024 Olympics. However, she used this opportunity to rejuvenate during the 2024 WNBA mid-season break. She took some much-needed time off the court and finally returned to Indiana to prepare for the second half of the season.

Clark’s not participating in the three-point contest during the 2024 All-Star Weekend was a shock. However, the Indiana Fever rookie claimed she required a break after playing basketball constantly for almost a year. The 22-year-old used these few days off but has quickly made it back in time for the mid-season training camp ahead of the second half of the campaign.

Seems like the sharpshooter is still in a holiday mood as she made her way to Jordan Davis’ concert after practice. As seen in multiple videos floating on social media, Davis invited Clark and her teammate Lexie Hull to the stage as a showstopper. The rookie was also seen amping the crowd up.

As the Olympic Games go on, Clark’s focus will be improving her side’s season. Currently 7th, with an 11-15 record, she will aim to lead the Indy side up a few spots in the standings.
She has had a historic performance to kick-start her professional career, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game through the first 26 games. But the 6ft 2 guard will aim to up the ante, as she and the Fever still have a lot to fight for.
A well-rested Clark could spell trouble for the league, as she will aim to solidify her ROTY status, push for an All-WNBA spot, and lead her Fever side to the playoffs as well. Will the rookie manage to tick off all her goals? Stay tuned to find out.
