Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark dribbles during the second half of a WNBA game against the New York Liberty, July 6, 2024, in Indianapolis.
Ahead of Sunday’s WNBA matchup between Indiana and Minnesota, Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve was asked about the potentially pro-Fever crowd at their Minnesota stadium in support of rising star Caitlin Clark. Her answer was short but not so sweet
The topic of Clark entering the league has been polarizing from many angles. Mixed reactions have popped up from former and current players, to now, coaches. However, Reeve’s thoughts on Clark have dated back to before the WNBA season began, and what may seem a disgruntled relationship now was not always the case.
Reeve, director of basketball operations as well as head coach for the Lynx, alongside partner and director of business operations Carley Knox, made an арреагапсе оп FOX9 Minneapolis-St. Paul ahead of the 2024 WNBA draft. The two executives spoke with host Dawn Mitchell for an interview on Unscripted where they discussed all things basketball.
It took little time for the topic of Caitlin Clark to come up.
“We are so excited for Caitlin Clark to come into the WNBA”, said Κποχ.
Reeve went on to add that she has ‘mixed emotions’ about Clark coming into the league – but her reaction was from a competitive standpoint.
“I’m really happy for the business side, but we have to guard her,” Reeve said as the trio shared a laugh.
Mitchell followed that up by asking about Clark potentially suiting up for the head coach, who shares that duty for the U.S. women’s Olympic roster at the upcoming Paris games. To which Reeve replied, “That’s well above my pay grade but yeah, absolutely. She’s an incredible talent.”
“[Caitlin’s] favourite team ever in the WNBA was the Minnesota Lynx”, Кпох added, as Reeve chimed in by adding, “That’s pretty cool.”
“We all recognize how important it is for the growth of the game, for players like Caitlin. We were all happy to see her success”, Knox continued.
Ten minutes later, with the topic of Clark in the rearview mirror, Mitchell circled back to the general topic of the national team and Reeve discussed her goals for achieving a high-level, competitive squad.
“Individual talent is great, but how do we become the best team we can be?” Reeve said. “All the other countries spend a lot of time together… teams with some chemistry and talent, that’s going to be hard for us.”
However, a few weeks later on May 3, Cheryl Reeve took to X to promote an upcoming Lynx pre-season game. At the same time, she subtlety voiced her displeasure пот песessarily with Clark, but with the league’s coverage. In the tweet, she called out the lack of broadcasting availability for games that don’t include star rookie, with the use of hashtags such as #12teams and #theWismorethaпопеplayer.
