Caitlin Clark makes funny admission about ankle injury: 'I looked really soft'

Fortunately, the injury was not serious. Clark returned a short while later to help lead her team to victory.

Clark was asked about the injury during her postgame press conference. She said she watched the replay and thought her reaction “looked really soft.”

“I saw the replay. I looked really soft. It wasn’t that bad of a turn, but it hurt,” Clark said. “Sometimes you need to give yourself a second. If you’ve ever sprained your ankle, it kind of stings for a little bit. I was good. They were like, Do you want to go in the back?’ I was like, ‘No, please, just tape right here, let’s go.’ You gotta keep going.”

Clark finished with 19 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. She went 4-of-9 from three-point range and tied the WNBA record for most three-pointers made by a rookie in a season with 85.

Those who have followed Clark this season know she has a great sense of humor and a fantastic jump shot. Fans will probably appreciate her self-deprecation.
