Caitlin Clark was back in action on Sunday in the WNBA. And she was seen wearing some flashy shoes to the court. She’s wearing Nike Kobe 5 Protro PE’s. On a description of the shoes, it reads, “The Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro Bruce Lee is a tribute to the legendary martial artist, featuring a vibrant yellow colorway that pays homage to his iconic jumpsuit.”

Clark did her usual damage on Sunday, scoring 23 points, dishing out nine assists, and grabbing five rebounds. The Indiana Fever have already matched last season’s win total, even though there are still 12 games left in the 2024 campaign. They sit at 13-15 overall, which ranks them third in the Eastern Conference Division.

More on Caitlin Clark and her historic rookie campaign

Thus far through Clark’s historic rookie campaign, she has scored 497 points, dished out 232 assists, grabbed 161 rebounds, and drilled 78 three-pointers.

Clark has a chance to win the Rookie of the Year award this season. She would go on to break the WNBA rookie assist record on Sunday against the Seattle Storm, recording her 225th dime of the season.

The former Iowa star’s impact on the city of Indianapolis and women’s basketball as a whole couldn’t be more evident as the Fever have broken several WNBA attendance records in her opening season. They are also currently in seventh place with a chance to make their first playoff appearance since 2016.

Indiana has won just one title in its WNBA history, with that coming in 2012. Clark will hope to one day lead the Fever to another, just as Manning did by bringing the Colts a Super Bowl in 2006.

She seems well on her way to building a strong career, and it will be exciting to see where she takes things from here. But as far as she’s concerned, it couldn’t have gotten started in a better place.

“It’s been an easy adjustment,” Clark said. “It’s easy to enjoy the crowds in Indianapolis. This is definitely a big city, but it doesn’t always feel that way. It feels like a small community that supports one another and definitely people that love their sports. I can’t imagine going to a better place.”
