Brittney Griner has important advice for Caitlin Clark on what to expect on the WNBA transition

Brittney Griner has some advice for Caitlin Clark as the Indiana Fever superstar starts her first season in the WNBA: it may take some time to adjust.

Given what we saw out of Clark in her first preseason game with the Fever — which included that moment when she dropped fellow Dallas Wings rookie Jacy Sheldon — maybe we’d expect her to be a superstar right away.

But as Griner told People, the WNBA isn’t college hoops: “It’s different, when you come from college to the pros,” she told the magazine. “I went from top dog to my numbers going down a bit. You’re going up against grown women. This is how they feed their families. This is not just for the love of the [game]. This is their livelihood.”

Well said!
