Caitlin Clark finally got the break she needed this week. After playing 39 college games, enduring training camp and two preseason games followed by a stretch of 11 WNBA games in 20 days, the two-time national player of the year finally had four days off. It's about time.

“I think honestly just getting away from basketball, getting some sleep, taking care of my body,” Clark said, explaining what she did on her two off days before returning to a rare practice Wednesday. “I play the point guard spot like I haven’t gotten a lot of practice time with my team and that’s really hard, trying to navigate an offense and you’ve haven’t had much practice time together.
Indiana’s historically relentless schedule hasn’t helped. The Fever played 11 games in 20 days, the most compact opening schedule since the Washington Mystics had 11 games in 20 days to open the 2007 season. “I don’t know if I’ve experienced anything like it ever in my 12 years of coaching in this league,” Sides said. “Just to have that grind of a schedule, two back-to-backs against the two best teams in the league. It’s just really tough. You’ve just got to keep your team together whenever they’re going through something like this.”The Fever hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2016 and has only posted more than six wins in two of the last six seasons.
