Caitlin Clark is expected to continue playing with the Indiana Fever against the Connecticut Sun. Despite her recent ankle injury, she returned to the court in the second quarter and played a crucial role in securing her team’s victory. The sprained ankle didn’t seem to affect her performance, as she made 6-of-14 shots from the field, dished out seven assists, and hit 4-of-9 from beyond the arc, tying the WNBA rookie record for most three-pointers.

They're prone to "thinking inwardly about what they would want and what they think is best when it comes to customers," he tells CNBC Make It.
