Strangest, hardest and most painful things Caitlin Clark had to endure as a WNBA rookie

foxnews.com

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark and Connecticut Sun forward DeWanna Bonner continue to jaw at each other during their Game 2 matchup.

Caitlin Clark's rookie season is officially over. She and the Indiana Fever were sweep victims of the Connecticut Sun and DiJonai Carrington in a series where Carrington gave the rookie a black eye in Game 1 and Clark had to have an opposing fan removed in Game 2.

All the while, she only managed a 35% field goal percentage and just 20% from 3. But it was hardly the first difficult week Clark had since college.

The WNBA has been a punishing environment on multiple layers for the rookie phenom. And as great as her talent to be, she often had to face even greater obstacles and scrutiny due to the transcendent spotlight that was always above her.
