Caitlin Clark’s Olympic Break Plans Garner Unanimous Fan Support

After leading Iowa to the NCAA Tournament National Championship game, she was swiftly picked up by the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, just a week later.

Now, with the WNBA All-Star Game behind her and the 2024 Paris Olympics approaching, Clark is looking forward to her first significant break from basketball since 2023.

As Team USA heads to Paris to compete for gold, Clark plans to enjoy some well-deserved rest.

“I honestly can’t wait to not touch a basketball for a while,” Clark shared during her postgame media availability. “I think I shot too many times in the past year.”

“Such a fun first All Star experience in Phoenix!! The fans and city were amazing… Now time for some rest and relaxation 🙂 see you all in a month,” she added in a postgame post on X.

WNBA fans all agree that Clark deserves to take as much rest as she needs over the Olympic break.

“Congratulations on your incredible all star game, we’re all so proud of you. enjoy your rest!!! You deserve it,” one wrote.

“She has been playing for a year straight! She needs a break,” another said.

“Enjoy your vacation Caitlin. Well earned. All Star game was fun to watch and very compelling,” another added.

Clark set an all-time WNBA All-Star Game rookie record with 10 assists in Saturday night’s win over Team USA.
