END OF AN ERA: The USA Doctor banned Caitlin Clark from sports due to her heart….

Despite Clark’s selection as WNBA’s rookie of the month for May, she and her new teammates have dealt with all kinds of frustrations — a brutally challenging schedule, limited practice time, the rookie’s seemingly league-wide unwelcoming committee, even sub-par play.

Clark’s biggest fans and the Fever’s most loyal supporters might not have anticipated such a rough start for the WNBA’s highest-profile rookie in years, but the chance to relax, recharge and regroup might be just what everyone needed.

“I think honestly just getting away from basketball, getting some sleep, taking care of my body,” Clark said, explaining what she did on her two off days before returning to a rare practice Wednesday.

“I play the point guard spot like I haven’t gotten a lot of practice time with my team and that’s really hard, trying to navigate an offense and you’ve haven’t had much practice time together.”

Statistically speaking, it’s hard to quibble with Clark’s start.

She’s only the third WNBA player to top 100 points, 30 rebounds and 30 assists in her first six games and leads this year’s talented rookie class in scoring (17.6 points), assists (6.6), field goals (46) and free throws (42). She even matched Diana Taurasi’s 3-pointers made total (24).

But it’s Clark’s glaring problems that have drawn the most attention.

Her 59 turnovers lead the league, she picked up technical fouls in three straight home games, putting her nearly halfway to earning a one-game suspension, and, at times, she has complained publicly about calls not going her way.

Being 2-9 hurts, too, and the way she’s been treated by opponents has created a national stir, too.
