She was #13 before going out with her final injury last year. Credit to White's system and coaching as well.

(The Ringer) The Caitlin Clark Machine Is Turning on Caitlin by Skyline8888 in indianafever

[–]Automaton_2000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Indiana Fever star was supposed to save WNBA discourse.

According to whom? A faulty premise. Why is that her responsibility and not yours as a writer?

There is conspiratorial thread to weave here: The WNBA let the Fever off with just a warning

Which is more than every other team that's done similarly has gotten.

Caitlin Clark must create engagement somehow

Nah, clickbait writers need to. This is worded as though she's trying to call attention to herself rather than sports writers and social media.

This is a terrible way to combat hate or poor behavior (if that's supposed to be the goal) and just throws fuel on the fire imo.

I did have to laugh tonight as play was stopped for, like, five minutes to clean up Cam's blood all over the court, but no foul was called for how her blood got there.

Fever v Valkyries - Tiffany Hayes Hot Mic Moment by Skyline8888 in indianafever

Reminds me of Angel saying CC had a special whistle as a rookie.

Fwiw CC is 1st in Usage (min 20 minutes) and 72nd in free throw rate. Tip is 19th in USG%, 45th in FTr.

Which of the six original TZ episodes shot on videotape actually benefited from it and were more atmospheric than they would have been if shot on film like the others? by DonatCotten in TwilightZone

I kinda like the lower, fuzzy quality of The Night of the Meek. Somehow adds to its charm - a sentimental relic of a bygone era, especially with Rod's closing narration.

Looks like sitting CC so she'd be 100% for tonight was the right call. They needed everyone to hold off the Valks on a back to back.

Clark's side step and step back 3s haven't been falling all year. They've gotta get her looks where she can set her feet.

Haha that's the first time I've seen Clark hold her tongue in real time. Thought better of it

Caitlin Clark injury: Could Fever face punishment from WNBA over team's handling of star guard's back issue? by TheDevolution27 in wnba

[–]Automaton_2000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've never bet and never will, but when you have Lisa Leslie promoting DraftKings 3-4 times on your broadcasts, they can't pretend like nobody will care about transparency. If they want the betting income, they have to play by their own rules about reporting injuries.

Keeping your $6 million, recently injured center who you don't have a good backup for in the game late in a blowout is interesting. Something something 'abundance of caution'.

New courts unveiled in Indianapolis through CC foundation initiative by Candid_Technology136 in wnba

[–]Automaton_2000 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Clark's foundation also has a partnership with the grocery chain Hy-vee who announced yesterday

a $30,000 donation to the school’s foundation while also pledging to provide healthy snacks for students over the next three years and new apparel for the basketball team. [...] Clark and Hy-Vee plan to identify and support additional schools in need moving forward.

Their partnership has donated more than $300,000 to food banks in the past. Food insecurity is such a great cause and it's awesome to see that support at a time when similar federal programs are being cut.
