"Caitlin can play anything and dominate 💪🏽" another fan commented.
"Los Angeles Olympics dual gold medalist? Point guard for the basketball team and QB of the flag football team? Just saying," one fan suggested.
"There's a lot of good basketball players, but there aren't a lot of true athletes. She's an athlete. Golf, soccer, passing, I'd imagine any sport, she could excel at," someone commented.

Clark has struggled with injuries this season. Before missing five games with a groin injury, the former Iowa star missed five games due to a left quad strain.

The Fever had a difficult time without their best player, yet they secured the in-season tournament by beating the Minnesota Lynx in the final.

The Fever are 9-9, managing to stay competitive despite the injuries.
