Fever G Caitlin Clark has missed more than half of the team\u2019s games this season due to injury, and she said she feels the \u201cresponsibility of being out there and playing\u201d given the rise and fall of ticket sales and viewership depending on whether she is able to play<\/a>. Speaking on the \u201cBird\u2019s Eye View with Sue Bird\u201d podcast, Clark said she wants to \u201cgive people something to cheer about or scream about.\u201d Clark: \u201cPeople spend so much time and money and resources to come and watch you play. … That\u2019s why I\u2019ve been trying to take as much time as I can. I sign autographs for way longer when I\u2019m hurt than when I\u2019m active.\u201d She added, \u201cI still want to make as much time as I can for people and give them something that they can remember.\u201d Clark has played in just 13 of the Fever\u2019s 32 games to date, and she also missed the league\u2019s All-Star Game last month at the Fever\u2019s Gainbridge Fieldhouse (\u201cBird\u2019s Eye View with Sue Bird\u201d, 8\/8).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fever G Caitlin Clark has missed numerous games this season due to injury and said she feels the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":137257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1339,42903,62,67,132,68,232,1707],"class_list":{"0":"post-137256","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-fan-experience","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-wnba","15":"tag-womens-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115010828115748037","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
