WNBA freshmen Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese refreshed after relaxing Olympic break
WNBA basketball player Caitlin Clark signs autographs for fans before a baseball double header between the New York Yankees and the Texas Rangers on Aug. 10, 2024, in New York.She visited Mexico, attended a friend’s wedding in Iowa and even got to see the New York Yankees’ clubhouse. So, when the Indiana Fever star returned to practice Tuesday, she was rested, revived and revved up to restart the WNBA season.
From the moment college practices opened last fall, these rookies played under a white-hot glare rarely experienced in women’s basketball – nightly sellout crowds, soaring ticket prices on secondary markets, record-breaking television ratings and their own incessant desire to live up to growing expectations.
Fans debated what long-term impact these women could have on the sport while salaries, endorsement deals, chartered flights and, yes, even the Olympic selections continued to fuel interest in the sport. Don’t bet on it. When the break comes again, in 2028, Clark and Reese could be forming the nucleus of the U.S. team in Los Angeles, while Cardoso hopes to represent Brazil.Cardoso, who missed the Sky’s first six games with a shoulder injury, got some extra time to recuperate. Reese and her teammates also healed up.
