Caitlin Clark is not alone in Indiana, she has a great ally in the veteran Erica Wheeler: “I’m here, I got you”
Wheeler embraces rookie Clark with open arms
Indiana Fever’s stars, rookie Caitlin Clark and veteran Erica Wheeler.
Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA, has found a supportive teammate in Erica Wheeler, who has gone above and beyond to welcome her to the Indiana Fever. Wheeler’s enthusiasm for Clark began long before she joined the team, as she had been tweeting about her for months and was ecstatic when Caitlin was drafted.
Even as training camp started just days ago, Wheeler’s excitement and support for Clark remained unwavering. In fact, Wheeler expressed that she felt it was her responsibility as Caitlin’s veteran teammate to step up and offer her support, even if it meant potentially losing her position as the starting point guard.

In a statement to the media, Wheeler shared: “I just wanted to get ahead of it because I know this transition is tough. It’s very unlikely that a vet [will] just take you in when you have the same position. I think oftentimes people forget I’m a great person before a basketball player. As a big sister, I’m going to take the first step first to just let her know, ‘We’re here. We got you – whatever you need from me as your vet.'”
Wheeler’s selfless attitude and genuine care for her new teammate is truly heartwarming. She has embraced the role of a mentor and is committed to providing the support and guidance that Caitlin may need as she adjusts to the professional basketball scene. Wheeler’s actions reflect not only her dedication to the team but also her character as a person.

Furthermore, Wheeler expressed that being around Clark has inspired her to elevate her own game. She highlighted that Caitlin’s energy has a positive impact on everyone, pushing them to perform at their best. This mutual respect and motivation between the two players bode well for their collaboration on the court.
Wheeler’s unwavering support for Clark demonstrates the strong bond and camaraderie within the team, setting a positive example for teamwork and sportsmanship. Her actions serve as a reminder of the importance of uplifting and supporting one another, both on and off the court.
With Wheeler’s guidance and encouragement, Caitlin is sure to find her footing in the WNBA, supported by a teammate who is not only skilled on the court but also compassionate and caring off it.
