Caitlin Clark is navigating her transition to the WNBA as the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 overall pick. The former Iowa star has faced some challenges in her initial games, and head coach Christie Sides is addressing these with a straightforward strategy.
“I gave her a rule the other day. She’s got 0.5 seconds to make a decision,” Sides explained after the Fever’s second regular-season game. “She has a habit of hanging out and dancing. That’s what she’s done. It’s those habits that we’ve got to break.”
Clark has shown gradual improvement since her tough WNBA debut, where she recorded 10 turnovers against the Connecticut Sun. She reached a career-high with 22 points in a subsequent loss to the New York Liberty. The Fever, still seeking their first win of the season, will face the Sun again on Monday night, aiming to end their 0-3 start. The game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. ET in Indiana and will be broadcast on ESPN.
