Paige Beuckers’ Injury Gave Caitlin Clark Opportunity to Reach Stardom, Claims Sky Owner Dwyane Wade

Hall Of Famer Dwyane Wade believes Paige Bueckers’ ACL injury was the turning point that let Caitlin Clark claim the national spotlight as he said: “Paige Bueckers to me was the next one. When you think about the GOATs of the game, I was looking at it like, ‘Paige Bueckers is going to be one of those GOATs. The ACL injury in college opened up the window for Caitlin Clark. Now, Caitlin has always been a good player, but she wasn’t known. Paige had these injuries, and then Caitlin had these amazing two years in college.” While Bueckers sat out, Clark torched college hoops with record scoring runs, ultimately reshaping the WNBA with the Indiana Fever.
