WNBA Rookie of the Year favorite Caitlin Clark reached an important milestone in her budding career this week when her Indiana Fever booked their first playoff berth since 2016. The team didn't play Tuesday, but qualified for the 2024 playoffs by virtue of Phoenix's 74-66 win over Atlanta and Las Vegas' 90-1 victory against Chicago. 'I stay up late, so it's not really unusual,' Clark said Wednesday when asked if she watched the games. 'But yeah, I was up. I did see it.' And that's when the party started, right?

Caitlin Clark has revealed she turned down the chance to compete in the 3-point contest on WNBA All-Star weekend because she needs a 'rest'. Clark, who has emerged as the biggest star in women's basketball over the past year, was offered to participate in the competition on Friday night, only to decline the invitation ahead of Saturday's All-Star Game. The Indiana Fever rookie drew criticism after snubbing the 3-point contest, with ESPN analyst David Dennis Jr fuming that she had 'no excuse' to do so.

The 22-year-old WNBA star, of the Chicago Sky, was with reporters on the sidelines of the Atlanta Dream's home court before Chicago's 85-77 win when a little girl asked her: 'What motivates you?' Reese answered the young fan's question just days after being named an All-Star for the first time in her career. The seventh overall pick of this year's WNBA Draft is averaging 13.2 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in her rookie season.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will put their burgeoning rivalry aside to team up on the WNBA All-Star team later this month. The pair of superstar rookies were selected on Tuesday to be part of the WNBA's 20th All-Star Game, and they'll face off in Phoenix against the Olympics team both missed out on last month.  Their rivalry in the opening months of their WNBA careers has propelled the sport to new heights, with some even claiming they are being used to start a race war in America.

Napheesa Collier made a dramatic return to the WNBA on Sunday, less than three months after giving birth to her daughter Mila in May. The Minnesota Lynx star, who was the 2019 WNBA Rookie of the Year, earned six points in 21 minutes, then carried her newborn into the press conference. Collier had speculated that she wanted to return to the court quickly after her pregnancy, but no one expected ten and a half weeks to be able, and the audience gave her a rousing reception.
