The photo will leave Indiana Fever fans excited, who will be hoping that it means Caitlin Clark is getting some guidance from Lieberman.
Lieberman is one of the most experienced figures in women’s basketball. Her playing career lasted 17 years, including time in both the WABA and the WBL, and she built an impressive resume along the way.
She went on to transition into coaching and has led the Detroit Shock, the Texas Legends, and even worked on the Sacramento Kings coaching staff.
Becky Hammon names best player in the league, says why Caitlin Clark isn’t in mix yet
Caitlin Clark entered the 2025 season as a major favorite for the MVP award. Expectations were sky high, but injuries changed everything. She only managed to appear in 13 games, which made it tough for her to unleash the potential everyone was hoping for.
Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon pointed to those same challenges when explaining why Clark is not at the top just yet. Hammon praised Clark’s potential and believes the young star has a bright future. However, she made it clear that A’ja Wilson was the best in the league right now.
“Caitlin had a tough year, obviously, with injuries this year; she’s going to be a tremendous player in this league. There’s no doubt about that,” Hammon said. “A’ja Wilson is the best player on the planet, and you got the hardware and the numbers and everything to back it up.”
“She (Clark) was one of the most exciting players I’ve ever seen on a collegiate level, and I would assume a healthy year for her. “She’s going to be a great Pro for a long time. So it’s exciting for our league.”
In the 13 games that she did play, Caitlin Clark averaged a modest 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game, showcasing a clear dip in the production she showed during her iconic rookie year.
