The start of the WNBA season is just around the corner, and that’s a fantastic thing for the Indiana Fever. After battling numerous injuries last year, guard Caitlin Clark is back, and she seems fired up about showing off her skills — both on and off the court — once again.Clark made her appearance at Fever media day Wednesday, and was clearly pumped to be there.who's ready for media day 🙌 pic.twitter.com/V1ND7jQFta— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) April 22, 2026While her actual interview didn’t lead to many notable moments, there were two things that stood out from her time in front of the media.
The biggest came when Clark said she views herself as the “best transition player in the league.”Caitlin Clark at Fever media day, via @chloepeterson67:"I think I'm the best transition player in the league. That's where I thrive."pic.twitter.com/K6J4Tkx3GQ— Underdog WNBA (@UnderdogWNBA) April 22, 2026The comment could raise some eyebrows. While Clark showed fantastic talent as a rookie, she was limited to just 13 games last season.
She averaged 16.5 points per game, but posted a .279 shooting percentage from three. Year 3 for Clark will be all about re-establishing herself as the sharpshooting threat she was as a rookie.With Clark injured for much of last season, the guard decided to take up a new hobby: photography. She’s been able to shoot photos at some high-profile events, and put those skills to work during Wednesday’s media day, taking a picture of the reporters assembled at the event.Caitlin Clark flips the script, asks to take a photo of more than 33 media members following her press conference on Fever media day pic.twitter.com/RAIZzJk2l3— Scott Agness (@ScottAgness) April 22, 2026Clark also promised a few new commercials she shot during the offseason, saying she thinks people “will like it.”Caitlin talks about filming commercials“I’ve shot a lot of stuff over the course of this offseason so I got some cool stuff coming.
I think you guys will like it.”Sounds exciting! I’m hoping one of them is a “She’s back” campaign pic.twitter.com/26ytgKFTJd— correlation (@nosyone4) April 22, 2026She did not go into detail on her commercial campaigns, however.After being selected as the No. 1 overall pick by the Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Clark emerged as one of the best players in the WNBA after a bit of a slow start. Despite some early struggles, Clark finished with 19.6 points and 8.6 assists per game as a rookie.
That earned her the Rookie of the Year award and a first-team All-WNBA selection. Her follow-up to that performance was somewhat of a disappointing due to multiple injuries. If Clark’s demeanor Wednesday was any indication, she’s excited about showing she’s fully back to form in Year 3.
