Caitlin Clark could have picked any number of great moments from her incredible rookie year with the WNBA.
But when asked by Jon Wertheim on 60 Minutes for her signature moment from 2024, she had this to say.
“I remember when we were in New York and Jonquell Jones set a good screen on me and I actually ruptured my eardrum just on a screen,” she said. “She’s a tremendous player but I think that just speaks to the physicality of the league.”
She’s spoken about the screen before and blamed herself, not Jones, for that moment. It was her “welcome to the WNBA” moment, and it makes sense in that context!
