Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark offered her fellow rookie Cameron Brink words of support after the latter suffered a season-ending ACL injury on Tuesday night.

The Los Angeles Sparks forward missing the rest of the year is a major disappointment for this exciting WNBA season, but Clark said that she feels that Brink will be back and better than ever once she completes her recovery.

Ahead of her game’s Wednesday night home game against the Washington Mystics, Clark shared her support for Brink and encouraged her as she’s about to begin her rehabilitation process to get back on the court.

“I know she’s the type of person that will be able to get through it and come through it stronger,” Clark said, via Indianapolis Star reporter Chloe Peterson.

“I Used to Have to Chase Steph Around All the Time”- Chris Paul Humorously Related to Anthony Edwards’ Experience Guarding Kyrie Irving

On Thursday, veteran guard Chris Paul of the Golden State Warriors examined the Western Conference finals between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks players Anthony Edwards and Kyrie Irving. Paul compared his previous playoff matches with Steph Curry, a former opponent who is now a teammate.

Edwards reported that Irving “just outran” him during the competition, leaving him “exhausted.” In an interview with ESPN’s “NBA Countdown,” Paul discussed how Minnesota should use Edwards more in Game 2. In the postseason, was the nine-time All-Defensive team selection ever worn out “chasing around somebody as prolific as Kyrie”?

Curry was the opponent Paul named without hesitation, having faced him thrice in the playoffs (in 2014, 2018, and 2019). “Absolutely, I used to have to chase around Steph all the time,” Paul said humorously.

Early in the two-time MVP’s career, Paul’s Los Angeles Clippers beat Curry’s Warriors 4-3 in the 2014 playoffs’ opening round. But Curry and the company eventually exacted retribution. They defeated Paul’s Houston Rockets 4-3 in the 2018 West finals and 4-2 in the second round of the 2019 postseason.

Chris Paul’s Advice for Anthony Edwards After Game 1 Defeat

Regarding Chris Paul’s advice for Anthony Edwards in Game 2, he emphasized the necessity of reducing his defensive exertion against Kyrie Irving. Paul pointed out that the 22-year-old may play part-time defense rather than full-time, giving him more energy for Minnesota’s attack.
