Summary
Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s 2024 first overall pick and Rookie of the Year, made her return to the hardwood after a groin injury ended her second campaign. She scored 20 points in a preseason game, but struggled from 3-point range, going 2-for-9 from deep. Former Philadelphia sports radio host Tyrone Johnson criticized Clark, saying she’s not the best player in the WNBA and compared her to Jeremy Lin.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Clark’s return was met with excitement, but her shooting was off, and she struggled to find her rhythm.
She’s still the face of the WNBA, but the hype has cooled down a notch.
This could be the start of a new narrative: the star who can’t live up to expectations.
This is the moment when fans start wondering if the marketing machine was just that – marketing.
This could be the beginning of the end of the Caitlin Clark era, and we’ll look back and say, “We should have seen it coming.”
