Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark’s life has been nonstop over the past year. From leading the Iowa Hawkeyes to the NCAA Finals to becoming the WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick, she’s hasn’t taken a break.
However, the 22-year-old took a moment to reflect on her epic journey on June 17.
The WNBA’s Rookie of the Month for May, who rarely posts on Instagram, celebrated what she’s accomplished with a sweet message.
“Time flies,” Caitlin posted, including an epic throwback photo of herself playing basketball as a young girl.
Kate Martin, Las Vegas Aces rookie and Clark’s former Iowa teammate commented, “Where has the time gone?”
Clark’s post comes one day after the Fever defeated the Chicago Sky, during which she had one of the best games of her WNBA career. During the Fever’s 91-83 win over the Sky, Clark scored 23 points with 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
Next up, the Fever (5-10) face the Washington Mystics (2-12) on June 19.
Veteran sports commentator Skip Bayless couldn’t help but feel that Angel Reese is jealous of Caitlin Clark after the Chicago Sky rookie’s viral comments following their loss to the Indiana Fever.
For those who missed it, the Sky forward turned a lot of heads when she basically accused the Fever guard of getting preferential treatment from the referees. Reese made the comments after her accidental hit to the head of Clark was elevated to a Flagrant 1 foul during the contest.
“For inside, I think we were playing really hard. I think we went up really strong a lot of times and we didn’t get a lot of calls,” Reese said after their 91-83 loss, via New York Post. “And going back into looking at the film, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made. I guess some people got a special whistle.”
However, those comments didn’t sit well with Bayless, who said that he feels some “jealousy” from the tone of Reese in her postgame remarks.
“I listen to her postgames, and yeah, she’s become the villain. She’s the instigator… Her postgames reek a little bit of jealousy and bitterness. That’s how it comes across to me,” Bayless revealed.
Skip Bayless went on to share a stern message to Angel Reese, noting that she has to “accept the fact” that Clark’s popularity is just at an entirely different level than hers.
For what it’s worth, though, Bayless may have some sort of bias because he admitted that he’s a fan of the Fever now.

Regardless, Reese probably expected the criticisms already since she has embraced the villain role opposite of Clark. As for the WNBA, the Clark-Reese rivalry could be a good thing with the massive attention it brings to the league.
