Caitlin Clark reveals her one basketball habit she can't break
Caitlin Clark is ready for the WNBA season to kick back into gear following the All-Star break with the regular season resuming Aug. 15.
The Indiana Fever star's elite passing has been one of her most exciting traits throughout her rookie season, setting the single-game record for assists with 19 versus the Dallas Wings.
As she's adjusted to the pace of the WNBA, Clark has seen her share of passes go the other way, as the Rookie of the Year favorite has averaged a league-leading 5.6 turnovers per game, two more than second place.
Clark recently reflected on her high turnover numbers while back at the University of Iowa in an interview with freestyle wrestler, Spencer Lee, who also went to Iowa.
When asked the question, "What is one habit you've never been able to break," Clark wittingly responded:
"Turning the ball over."
Despite her turnovers, Caitlin Clark has lived up to the billing through her first season, posting averages of 17.1 ppg, 8.2 apg and 5.8 rpg, solidifying herself as one of the best offensive players in the game.
The rookie sensation will look to lead the Indiana Fever to a strong second-half push to close the season and make the playoffs in her first year.
Team USA missing Caitlin Clark at 2024 Paris Olympics
The United States women's national team has looked impressive on the defensive side of the ball, but their starting backcourt of Chelsea Gray and Diana Taurasi has struggled offensively, possibly proving doubters right about Caitlin Clark's fit with Team USA.
These offensive woes could be considered "nitpicky" for a team that's fresh off its 58th consecutive win at the Olympics after beating Germany 87-68, but it seems nearly certain that Clark would have flourished alongside fellow WNBA stars A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart given her extraordinary offensive skillset.
The duo of Taurasi and Gray has struggled to the tune of a combined 2-for-16 from the field, failing to establish themselves as scoring threats to this point in the Olympics.
Caitlin Clark is already one of the top scorers in the WNBA and her aggressiveness could have provided the star-studded Team USA roster with a sparkplug off the bench alongside Jackie Young.
The Fever rookie will have to wait to make her Olympic debut, as she gears up for a strong finish to her historic rookie campaign.
