Caitlin Clark and the Fever (1-8) are enduring a difficult start to the 2024 WNBA season.
The production of the No. 1 overall pick is one silver lining. And Clark is getting better as she gets more games under her belt, giving reason for Indiana to expect better days ahead.
Clark will face a familiar foe Saturday in Sky rookie Angel Reese, as the collegiate rivals meet for the first time as professionals. Could the Fever start their turnaround against the Sky?
Chicago is off to a 3-3 start despite missing No. 3 overall pick Kamilla Cardoso so far due to a preseason shoulder injury. With Cardoso expected to return for Sunday’s matchup with Indiana, the Sky certainly seem to be closer to contention than the Fever.
Reese is one major reason for Sky fans to be excited about what’s to come. The former LSU star is just getting started at the WNBA level, and there’s no doubt she will be motivated when Chicago rolls into Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face Clark.
Here’s a look at how Clark and Reese stack up statistically through the opening weeks of their WNBA careers.
