Las Vegas Aces rookie Kate Martin has publicly defended her former Iowa teammate, Caitlin Clark, against the unrealistic expectations and intense scrutiny she faces in her rookie WNBA season with the Indiana Fever. Martin emphasized that while Clark is having a phenomenal rookie season, averaging 16.3 points, 6.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game, it is unfair for people to expect perfection from her. Martin has pledged her unwavering support for Clark, highlighting their close friendship and the importance of a solid support system. Despite the pressure, Clark continues to make a significant impact in the league, helping to boost its viewership. Both players have transitioned from a successful college run to notable professional careers, with Martin also contributing effectively to the Aces. The Aces and Fever are set to face off again on July 2.
