Caitlin Clark’s rookie season is over following the Indiana Fever’s first-round loss in the playoffs — and now the superstar is sharing her plans off the court.
During media availability after the team’s lossto the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, Sept. 25, Clark showed a sense of humor about her upcoming plans.
“I was focused on beating the Connecticut Sun, I haven’t thought too far down the line,” Clark, 22, said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow, I don’t know what I’m going to do the next day.”

The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year added, “Maybe play some golf. That’s what I’m going to do until it becomes too cold in Indiana. I’ll become a professional golfer.”
Wednesday’s matchup — where the Fever hoped to tie the best of 3 series 1-1 — was a tight game that produced a tense off-the-court moment when security officials escorted a fan away from his courtside seat following an exchange with Clark.
Security guards at the Mohegan Sun Arenawere seenon ESPN’s broadcast escorting him away from his seat with 1:29 left in the first quarter. The moment came after Clark pointed out the fan to referees, and appeared to remark about something that was said.
Clark brieflyspoke about the incident with ESPN’s Holly Roweafter the first half, and explained how she was staying focused on the game.

“My four other teammates that are right here with me,” Clark said. “I think that’s the most important.”
The playoff series got off to a physical start on Sunday, when Clark suffered a black eye at the hands of Sun guard DiJonai Carrington.
Clark later clarified that she didn’t believe Carrington, 26, meant to hurt her.
