What was initially expected to be a short-term absence has turned into a longer stretch than anticipated. Caitlin Clark missed her 20th game of the WNBA season last night against Dallas, and the Indiana Fever are eagerly awaiting her return in the near future.
Candace Parker, a WNBA legend and three-time champion, is never one to hold back when it comes to speaking her mind — and her words carry weight. Clark’s extended absence in this final stretch of the season has been deeply felt, making her return all the more crucial for Stephanie White’s squad.
During a recent appearance on JMac Ball Up via X (formerly Twitter), the two-time MVP and seven-time All-Star stated that when the former Iowa standout returns to the court, she’ll be a true nightmare for opposing teams.
“When Caitlin gets back it’s going to be SCARY,” the former Sparks and Aces player stated. “The Sky is the limit to what you all can accomplish”
