Caitlin Clark Reveals Her Offseason Plans After Indiana Fever Lose in First Round of WNBA Playoffs

Caitlin Clark’s rookie season ended after a first-round playoff loss to the Indiana Fever — and now the superstar is sharing her plans off the court.

During a media availability following the team’s loss to the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, Sept. 25, Clark showed a sense of humor about her future plans.

“I was focused on beating the Connecticut Sun, I didn’t think too much about it,” said Clark, 22. “I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow, I don’t know what I’m going to do the next day.”

The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year added, “Maybe we play golf. I’ll do that until it gets too cold in Indiana. I’m going to become a professional golfer.”

Wednesday’s game — where the Fever were hoping to tie the best-of-3 series 1-1 — was a close game that produced a tense moment off the field when security officials escorted a fan from his seat courtside after an exchange with Clark.

Security guards at Mohegan Sun Arena were seen on ESPN’s broadcast escorting him from his seat with 1:29 left in the first quarter. The moment came after Clark showed the referees a fan and appeared to notice something that was said.

Clark spoke briefly about the incident with ESPN’s Holly Rowe after the first half and explained how she stayed focused on the game.

My four teammates that are here with me, Clark said. “I think that’s the most important thing.”

The playoff streak got physical on Sunday, when Clark suffered a bruised eye at the hands of Suns guard DiJonai Carrington.

Clark later clarified that she did not believe Carrington, 26, intended to hurt her.

“It wasn’t intentional by any means, just watch the game,” Clark told reporters and laughed off the idea that the hit was intentional.
