- WNBA. Referees' 'disgusting' and 'outrageous' treatment of Caitlin Clark: They are blind, they are so bad!
- WNBA. Caitlin Clark's off-season plans revealed: Will she play in the Unrivalled League?
While Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky missed the playoffs, both she and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever finished with the same postseason win records.
Clark's playoff journey came to an end on Wednesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena, where the Fever faced off against the Connecticut Sun, losing 87-81 in a closely contested match.
In this final game, Clark made history by becoming the first rookie in playoff history to achieve at least 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a single game.
This remarkable performance capped off a standout rookie season for the WNBA's Rookie of the Year, who has taken the league by storm since being drafted by the Indiana Fever.
Following the Indiana Fever's elimination, Angel Reese shared a cryptic five-word message on Twitter.
The meaning behind her post remains ambiguous, leaving fans to wonder whether it was a subtle dig at Clark or simply an expression of her own feelings about the playoff outcome.
Caitlin Clark is embracing a new direction
As discussions swirl around Clark's future, it's clear she won't be returning to the court in the immediate future.
After her playoff exit, Clark announced her intention to focus on golf during the offseason, opting for this unique path instead of following many of her peers into international leagues.
"I'm gonna play some golf. That's what I'm gonna do until it becomes too cold in Indiana. I'll become a professional golfer," Clark stated.
Clark's success in college and her first year in the WNBA has afforded her the financial security to pursue this unconventional choice.
As both players look ahead, their contrasting offseason decisions highlight the varied paths available to WNBA rookies after their debut seasons.
