NBA Legend Doesn't Hold Back About Fever Superstar Caitlin Clark
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark were expected to be WNBA Finals contenders heading into the 2025 season. Unfortunately, Clark has been dealing with a lot during her second campaign. In the 31 games the team has played, Clark has only participated in 13 of them. She has dealt with multiple different injuries throughout the year. Most recently, she has been forced to the sideline due to a groin injury. Clark has missed a lot of time due to the injury and there is no telling when she'll be able to get back on the court. Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever celebrates in the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Mercury at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on July 30, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Photo byEven when Clark has played, she has struggled to be as impactful as she was during her rookie season. Read more: Fever Superstar Caitlin Clark Again Throws Shot at WNBA Referees Throughout the 13 games she has played this year, Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals, while shooting just 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from the three-point line. Obviously, those are not the numbers she was targeting. After being considered a top-tier WNBA MVP candidate at the start of the season, that hype has cooled. Despite the rough second season Clark has gone through, one NBA legend spoke out with strong words to the rest of the league about her. Bob Cousy, who was a star with the Boston Celtics, revealed his opinion about Clark. "It's a saleable product, and Clark's done a really good job selling it. She's exceptional," Cousy said. "She's had a tremendous impact on that league and their earning potential. They should be kissing the ground she walks on, not trying to foul her and get her out of the game." He is 100 percent right about the impact Clark has made on the WNBA. She has taken the league to a level that it never thought possible in such a short amount of time. The interest level in women's basketball around the world is at an all-time high. Read more: Caitlin Clark's Heartbreaking Reaction to Fever Teammates' Season-Ending Injuries Granted, there are plenty of other talented women playing in the WNBA, but Clark was the main reason for the big jump the league took. Hopefully, Clark is able to get back to full health and play basketball again this season. The WNBA simply isn't the same without her on the court. Only time will tell, but fans are anxiously awaiting her return for the Fever. Make sure to follow Newsweek Sports for all Indiana Fever and WNBA news and updates.

'This is a coordinated campaign of harassment'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. 'Immature crypto bros can't understand throwing sex toys at WNBA players isn't harmless fun' Nancy Armour at USA Today The "crypto bros behind the rash of sex toys being thrown at WNBA games" are "misogynists, showcasing their immaturity and insecurity in the oldest way possible," says Nancy Armour. It's "designed to remind WNBA players and their fans that, for all the progress women's sports have made in the last few years, the playing field will never be level if they have anything to say about it." They'll "discover what other trolls have: Only weak men demean women." Read more 'Congress must swiftly close gaps in air safety' Jason Ambrosi at Newsweek It's "clear that the policies and procedures for mixed air traffic in congested airspaces require immediate attention from Congress," says Jason Ambrosi. There is "bipartisan interest and support for addressing urgent aviation safety risks," and the "need for action is unmistakable." Air travel "remains the safest mode of transportation," but "Congress and the FAA must work together to close dangerous gaps in our airspace, modernize our infrastructure, and ensure such a tragedy never happens again." Read more 'Leave Labubu lovers alone' Renée Graham at The Boston Globe There is "no shortage of videos — ranging from mocking to concern trolling to weird hostility about the Labubu craze," says Renée Graham. A "bit of advice — if you don't want a Labubu, don't buy a Labubu." We "are living in unnerving, uncertain times." Some "may turn to overeating or alcohol or other substances to anesthetize themselves." By "comparison, buying and cuddling a Labubu or 10 seems pretty harmless." It's a "simple thing that hurts no one." Read more 'Europe's future depends on confrontation, not compromise' Garry Kasparov and Gabrielius Landsbergis at Politico Dependence on American "support for its defense is not the only problem" in Europe, say Garry Kasparov and Gabrielius Landsbergis. The EU has "reached its limits." What "we are witnessing is a sunset of Europe, the decline of a union founded on principles of peace and diplomacy that can no longer effectively respond to the moment." This "requires decisive action — not the cooperation and incrementalism designed to prevent war, but the admission that war is already here." Read more Solve the daily Crossword
