Caitlin Clark reveals the ‘biggest thing’ about her career

Caitlin Clark has established herself as one of the best players in the WNBA today. She quickly made her mark in the league after the Indiana Fever selected her at No. 1 overall in 2024. The superstar guard is also cementing her legacy by breaking several WNBA records early in her career. However, that’s not how she wants fans to remember her.

Clark is enjoying her best season as a professional. She is averaging 22.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and leads the league with 8.3 assists per game. The 24-year-old already has 11 double-doubles this year, fully showcasing her playmaking skills. Along with Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, they form Indiana’s “Big 3” that has been giving opposing teams nightmares.

Indiana Fever: Caitlin Clark opens up about the legacy she wants

The three-time All-Star guard discussed what she wants to leave as her legacy once her playing career is over. She emphasized how important it is for her to be remembered for uniting fans and making them enjoy basketball more.

“A lot of my favorite players growing up, I don’t know how many points they ever ended up scoring, or I don’t know how many three pointers they made,” Clark said. “Hopefully, it’s just the impact that you can leave on people and the way you made them feel. And I think that’s kind of been the story of my career. And I hope you know when I’m done playing one day, that’s what people remember the most about me is the way I’ve been able to unite people to cheer on basketball and love a game.

“Or bring people together to you know love a sport in a way that they’ve maybe never have before. That’s probably the the biggest thing that I’ll probably look back on my career and be proud of is just the amount of people that I’ve been able to bring in and enjoy the game that I’ve always loved since I was a young kid.”

Clark and the Fever have eight regular-season games left. They are now third in the standings and have their sights set on creating more distance between them and the Las Vegas Aces. Indiana is only ahead by half-a-game but could further improve its record if it can string more wins together.
