Caitlin Clark received huge support in Chicago last season
Caitlin Clark earned a roaring ovation from Chicago Sky fans last season. The Indiana Fever point guard had the crowd on its feet, energizing them as she checked out of the game after delivering a stellar performance and leading Indiana to a dominant victory.
Meanwhile, Clark addressed the narrative surrounding her matchup with Angel Reese being labeled as a rivalry. The Fever point guard openly stated that she doesn’t see her games against the Sky as a battle against a rival player or team.
"I'm pretty sure the only people that view this as a rivalry is all of you," Clark said. "For us, it's just a game of basketball. That's what it is. If it's gonna help move the game forward, absolutely."
Clark and Reese made their WNBA debuts last year, instantly elevating the league’s global popularity. Both rising stars showcased their talent and were rewarded with All-Star Game selections. The Fever superstar won the Rookie of the Year award while the Sky standout led the league in rebounds.
