The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year’s campaign is finished as of Wednesday, September 25, when her team was defeated by the Connecticut Sun.
After the Indiana Fever’s playoff loss in the first round, Caitlin Clark’s debut season came to an end. Now, the starlet is talking about her off-court ambitions.
Following the team’s Wednesday, September 25, loss to the Connecticut Sun, Clark was jovial when discussing her future plans with the media.
“I haven’t thought too far ahead; my focus was on defeating the Connecticut Sun,” the 22-year-old Clark stated. “I have no idea what I’m going to do the following day or tomorrow.”

“Maybe play some golf,” the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year continued. That’s what I’m going to do in Indiana until the weather gets too cold. I’m going to turn pro at golf.
The Fever were hoping to square the best-of-three series 1-1 on Wednesday. It was a close game that resulted in a heated moment off the court when security guards escorted a fan from his courtside seat after he got into an argument with Clark.
With 1:29 remaining in the first quarter, he was shown on ESPN being escorted out of his seat by security personnel inside the Mohegan Sun Arena. The incident occurred when Clark indicated the supporter to the refs and seemed to comment on something that was said.
After the first half, Clark had a brief conversation with ESPN’s Holly Rowe about the event and shared how she was managing to keep focused on the game.
“My four other teammates that are right here with me,” Clark said. “I think that’s the most important.”
The playoff series got off to a physical start on Sunday, when Clark suffered a black eye at the hands of Sun guard DiJonai Carrington.
Clark later clarified that she didn’t believe Carrington, 26, meant to hurt her.
