WNBA basketball star Caitlin Clark was introduced by the Indiana Fever on Wednesday...and her jersey is already sold out.
"I'm not like a huge big city girl," the basketball star told reporters Wednesday during her introductory news conference with the Indiana Fever."So, I feel like this is the perfect spot for myself, a place that loves basketball."She'll look to continue taking the game to new heights while wearing her new No. 22 Fever uniform, which she put on for the first time.That jersey helped Clark set her first record as a member of the WNBA.
"I was hoping Indiana got the first pick, it made my life a lot better," Clark said Wednesday."So, I was pretty excited. I was just ready for a new challenge in my life.”Clark received a hero's welcome in Indiana on Wednesday, entering the facility on on a red carpet to a standing ovation from teammates and team employees. She will join last season's No. 1 pick and Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston to attempt to end the Fever's seven-year-playoff drought.
“It's not all about me,” Clark said. “It's not everything I have to do, and when I've been able to understand that, it's allowed me to play my best. I think it's just using your resources, asking questions, knowing everything's not going to be perfect and giving myself a little grace. I'm definitely a perfectionist, but I'm at my best when I allow myself to have a little grace and not expect everything to go exactly how it should.
