Caitlin Clark Feeling the Heat—The ‘Financial Burden’ of Being the WNBA’s Top Star

With great power comes great responsibility. Caitlin Clark knows that all too well. Clark has been the main target for opposing defenses for her whole career, and she’s been the main attraction for basketball fans since her college days.

Her epic run at Iowa led to sell-out crowds even during away games. The same thing has been happening in 2024, her first year in the WNBA. The people make the effort to watch her play. It’s a beautiful thing, but it can lead to a different type of pressure for Clark, who feels the need to be at the top of her game every single time out.

Caitlin Clark reveals what drives her on the court

Caitlin Clark wants to put on a show for fans every night

She spoke about the expectation that consistently rests on her shoulder after the Indiana Fever defeated the LA Sparks on Wednesday night.

Nobody wants to lose, especially in front of these fans. A lot of them only get to see the Fever play one time, they spend a lot of money to come here and watch us and have fun with us. So you want to kind of give them a show every single time we’re here.

Fever-Sparks was the first game since the Fever clinched a playoff spot. Clark delivered for the home fans, notching a triple double, her second of the season.

Clark demands greatness from herself. That inner drive is what has made her elite and a game-changer.
