Caitlin Clark has been making noise lately with her play on the court to her early imprint in the league. Ahead of the Indiana Fever's second head-to-head meeting against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, Clark showed up to the game wearing a stunning denim Prada outfit. With much anticipation associated with the matchup, the rookie made sure to appear in style.
The game features the rematch between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, who are off to commendable starts in their rookie campaigns. During their first meeting of the regular season, the Fever got the edge over Chicago in their one-point victory. It also included the tense incident between Chennedy Carter and the No.1 pick.
The WNBA shared Clark's outfit on their X handle, which also included other players involved in the game.
As Caitlin Clark continues to navigate her way as a rookie in the league, she is averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game.
Caitlin Clark adjusting to WNBA life
For any young athlete in the WNBA, it takes a certain level of adjustment to transition from playing at the collegiate level to the big leagues. Clark has found it challenging, to say the least, but has made strides in making the journey a regular thing.
"I think for myself it's definitely been a whirlwind over the course of the last couple of months," Clark said (via 247Sports' Cody Nagel). "Honestly, I feel like I talk to the media more than I get to talk to my own family, which is... kind of sad in a way. It's a lot for somebody that's 22 years old. It can be tough at times. ... But I think just getting off social media, that's been the healthiest thing."
Caitlin Clark is envisioned to be one of the future faces of the WNBA. As the league continues to grow in reach and coverage, the Fever rookie remains at the forefront of that goal.
Being a professional basketball player in the modern age garners attention on social media, which can lead to interesting comments from fans. However, Clark has chosen wisely to steer clear of what they have to say about her.
That decision by the rookie is something that other athletes have become accustomed to, considering the toll it can bring if one were to go too deep into fans' discussions.
As her name is associated with several media narratives as of late, Caitlin Clark has managed to remain focused on contributing to her team's success.
