This novice of the year dispute needs to STOP. It comes from Caitlin Clark.
With the win, the Fever enhanced to 12-15 on the season and hold strong at No. 7 in the WNBA standings. After winning simply 13 video games a season earlier, Indiana is now simply a win far from connecting its win overall from in 2015.
Clark will want to continue leading the Fever to success while increasing her lead in the Rookie of the Year race.
