Caitlin Clark happy to be out of spotlight this offseason

Speaking in her exit interview last week for the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark expressed her relief in not having the spotlight now that her season is over. Clark is looking forward to unwinding and taking a vacation this offseason although she was recently seen watching Butler's open practice over the weekend.

"I don't know what I'm going to really do (but) it's going to be nice though," Clark said. "I think getting out of the spotlight and just getting to live my life and do things that I want to do. Not have to sit in like, I love talking to all of you, but it's going to be nice to not have to sit in front of a microphone multiple times a week. I really appreciate all of you, but it will be nice to kind of get away and relax for a little bit." (8:43 onward)

But despite the Fever's season being over, Clark remains in the headlines and it probably won't change anytime soon.
