WNBA world reacts to shocking Caitlin Clark news

Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark has proved that there’s nothing she can’t do on a basketball court.

Clark’s rookie season in the WNBA saw her break record after record, culminating in her winning the WNBA Kia Rookie of the Year award and being named to the WNBA first team. Now she’s taking her immense talent to a new stage.

Clark is set to be interviewed by legendary late show host David Letterman on Ball State’s campus, Letterman’s alma matter.
