Amidst all the badd news, we finally have some light at the end of the tunnel.
Caitlin Clark has recently dominated headlines not only because of her lingering back issue, but also because of the reason she was injured in the first place. The Fever played an intense back-to-back series with the Phoenix Mercury in late June, ultimately leading to Clark being sidelined with an injury. Even though Clark has been sidelined, she is still dominating the news cycle thanks to Alyssa Thomas, and she is finally receiving praise from an unlikely source.

Former soccer star Alex Morgan knows what it's like to be in the spotlight after she was called up to the U.S. Women's National Team at just 17 years old. After tearing her ACL in a scrimmage shortly after being called up, she became one of the most recognizable women's soccer players on the planet, earning 224 caps with the national squad. After officially retiring from club and country in 2024, Morgan's legendary career is still being discussed.
Amid all the controversy and negativity surrounding Caitlin Clark, she weighed in on her accomplishments. Morgan is impressed by all that Clark has accomplished at Iowa and in the WNBA, as well as in her personal life, praising her for everything she has achieved at such a young age. That is extremely high praise coming from an athlete who experienced a similar career path.
In a clear case of greatness recognizing greatness, Morgan praised Clark for all that she has accomplished, and it was much needed for Clark, who has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons lately. Hopefully, this shows Clark that she has people in her corner who appreciate all that she has done. As she continues working her way back to playing shape, some good press is finally headed her way and could be exactly the boost she needs.
