Caitlin Clark had the perfect reaction after making WNBA history

While Caitlin Clark has been having another impressive season for the Indiana Fever, the three-time WNBA All-Star has not really had that mind-blowing performance this year. That all changed on Friday night.

Clark led the Fever to a much-needed 110-107 win over the Seattle Storm. Indiana was coming off a disappointing home loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday, and they were in dire need of a bounce-back victory.

Clark knew what needed to be done, and she made sure that her team would not suffer back-to-back losses. She exploded for a career-high 45 points on 11-of-18 shooting. Clark added two rebounds, 10 assists, four steals, two blocks and six triples in one of the best performances of her career.

Apart from setting a new career-high in points, Clark also made WNBA history by putting up the first 40-point, 10-assist game ever.

When asked about her latest personal feat, the 24-year-old had the perfect response. Clark emphasized that while she acknowledges the milestone, her sights remain set on the bigger picture.

“I mean, it’s cool. I don’t really care,” she said. “And I know what I’m capable of, and I know what this team is capable of. It’s my job to help us win and be the best team in the WNBA.

“And I don’t think we’re there yet, so it’s my responsibility to help us get there. So we’ll keep working.”

“I don’t really care.”

Clark and the Fever will need to get back to work quickly. They play twice in two nights, with a back-to-back scheduled for Saturday against the New York Liberty.

Clark has been nursing a back injury and was still on a minutes restriction against the Storm. However, she clearly did not look bothered by the back issue.

The Fever have not confirmed if Clark will take the floor on Saturday against the Liberty. She sat out the tail end of their last back-to-back last week.

At this point, it would not be a complete shock if head coach Stephanie White decides to give her superstar the night off on Saturday, especially after her big night.
