Caitlin Clark gives a surprising answer when asked about the “signature moment” of her rookie season

Caitlin Clark had an incredible rookie season with the Indiana Fever.

She was named to the All-Star selection and helped bring the Fever back to the postseason. Not to mention that millions of fans watched their games on television or in the arena.

When asked on “60 Minutes” what she thought was her “signature moment” of the season, she gave a surprising answer.

“I remember we were in New York and Jonquel Jones pointed a good screen at me and my eardrums actually burst,” Clark recalls. “I just ruptured my eardrum on a screen. It was a really good canvas from JJ. She’s a great player, but I think that just speaks to the physicality of the league. She just put me in the right position.”

“I think it’s something I’ll always remember when I came into the league. … That’s probably more memorable, honestly.”

WNBA, NOT JUST CAITLIN CLARK, THE “REAL BREAKOUT STAR” OF 2024, claims the JOURNALIST “60 MINUTES”.

It was one of the first games of the season for Clark and the hard screen was touted as her “Welcome to the WNBA” moment.

The moment happened on June 2nd against the Liberty. Clark had one of her worst games of the season as she was 1 of 10 from the field and only scored three points. Indiana lost by 36. They only scored fewer than 10 points twice during the season.

After the Olympic break, things really heated up for Clark and the Fever. The Fever won nine of their last 14 games and were the sixth seed in the playoffs.
