Caitlin Clark Sends Clear Message on Indiana Fever Rookie

Caitlin Clark Sends Clear Message on Indiana Fever Rookie originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Indiana Fever have been forming an incredible team, led by Caitlin Clark. 

Clark joined the team last season and has since helped the Fever emerge as one of the most exciting teams in the WNBA with the help of All-Star forward Aliyah Boston. 

While the Fever have a star-studded team with the players listed, as well as Sophie Cunningham, Lexie Hull and Kelsey Mitchell, there are several underrated pieces to the puzzle. 

In the latest draft, the Fever selected Makayla Timpson in the second round out of Florida State. 

After a recent matchup against the Minnesota Lynx, Timpson took to social media, sharing several photos of the team's victory in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup Championship. 

"Secured!💸🏆" Timpson said. 

After sharing the post on social media, Clark sent a message to Timpson, seemingly giving fans her thoughts on the Fever rookie. 

"Dawg," Clark said.

With injuries and other absences on the Fever roster, Timpson has seen her playing time increase in recent games. During Indiana's three-game winning streak, she is averaging 13.0 minutes, 1.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals. 

Timpson has provided much-needed depth in the frontcourt, something the Fever have been missing over the past several seasons. 

Caitlin Clark has missed nine games for the Indiana Fever this season. Clark first missed time with the team due to a quadriceps injury and has now been sidelined for the past four games due to a groin injury. 

While Clark has been ruled out for the Fever's next matchup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Sparks, she will have another chance to return to the lineup on Wednesday.
