Brittney Griner has some advice for Caitlin Clark as the Indiana Fever superstar starts her first season in the WNBA: it may take some time to adjust.
Given what we saw out of Clark in her first preseason game with the Fever — which included that moment when she dropped fellow Dallas Wings rookie Jacy Sheldon — maybe we’d expect her to be a superstar right away.
But as Griner told People, the WNBA isn’t college hoops: “It’s different, when you come from college to the pros,” she told the magazine. “I went from top dog to my numbers going down a bit. You’re going up against grown women. This is how they feed their families. This is not just for the love of the [game]. This is their livelihood.”
Well said!
