Never a dull day when you’re a Caitlin Clark fan. The Indiana Fever star is one of the most unpredictable players on the court, with her hyper-aggressive playmaking and elite outside-the-arc scoring leaving defenders dizzy. This dynamism helped Clark become a standout player in the 2026 WNBA season, where she averaged 22.3 points and 8.3 assists. While the Fever franchise is busy with a major upstairs shakeup after their postseason run was cut short with an early first-round exit at the hands of the Las Vegas Aces, Clark has already returned with the same unpredictability off the court, making headlines over something which she announced on social media at the start of her third WNBA season.

“BIG NEWS! I wrote a picture book 🥹 Illustrated by @adriillustration. Available wherever books are sold on November 3rd, 2026! Pre-order your copy from @randomhousekids at the link in their bio,” Clark announced her new children’s book, EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams, on Instagram back in May.

With the WNBA season over, Caitlin Clark has been spending her offseason promoting the latest chapter of her career, and she can now add writer to her already extensive resume. In a phone interview with the Associated Press, Clark revealed that her mom, Anne, majored in English in college. A bookworm herself, she helped Clark gain interest in reading from an early age. On Christmas Eve, Clark’s mom used to gift her a book too.

“Everything that you see, I always have a part in,” Clark said of her involvement with the book to the Associated Press. “I want people to know I put a lot of time and effort into that.”

We don’t need to look further than the book’s title, which was inspired by a mirror in Clark’s bedroom. Her parents, Brent and Anne, had the mirror made for her before she was born, and it has remained there ever since, even after Clark went to college and even now as the biggest star in women’s basketball. On the mirror is a handwritten message that reads, “The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA.”

“It’s something that hopefully they’ll always have for me through life, and I’ll maybe pass along to one of my kids one day,” Clark said about the mirror. “I don’t think it’s always something you realize or notice when you’re looking in the mirror that it’s something motivational.”

Clark has always been a huge advocate for helping children. She regularly visits the Iowa Family Children’s Hospital and recently collaborated with a children’s favorite character from Sesame Street, Cookie Monster, in an Xfinity advertisement where she made chocolate chip cookies with the character.

Clark even launched her very own Caitlin Clark Foundation in 2023, with a mission “to uplift and improve the lives of youth and their communities through education, nutrition, and sport.” Recently, Clark added a whopping $90,000 to the foundation after winning an event that internet celebrity MrBeast invited her to.

While Clark is already busy promoting her book with appearances on Good Morning America and TODAY, with another appearance lined up at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on November 6, the Fever franchise is also busy mixing things up in its front office this offseason.

The Fever is going all out with changes to the front office

After Clark and the Fever were unceremoniously knocked out in the first round of the WNBA playoffs against A’ja Wilson’s Las Vegas Aces, the Fever higher-ups seemed to have put their foot down. While longtime team president Kelly Krauskopf had already told leadership her decision to step down from her role at the end of the regular season, the bigger news came when the Fever parted ways with general manager Amber Cox. This leaves two significant vacancies in the Fever’s leadership.

However, the Fever is not simply looking to fill the positions left behind. The franchise is also restructuring its leadership hierarchy, with Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO Mel Raines set to oversee business operations instead of appointing a direct replacement for Krauskopf. But the search remains open.

Meanwhile, the franchise has also made significant strides in scouting, having hired former Portland Trail Blazers scouting manager Sheri Sam as assistant general manager. Sam will mainly focus on scouting and analytics, alongside another hire: former collegiate basketball player Vernard “Nard” Hollins, who announced on his “Always 100” handle on X that he has accepted a scouting position with the Fever.

As of now, Stephanie White remains head coach. But since she was hired by former general manager Cox, it remains to be seen what the future holds for her, alongside the futures of unrestricted free agents Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham. With a long offseason ahead, it will be interesting to see how much of an upstairs shake-up happens at the Fever going into next season.
