NEW YORK – Women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark made a surprise appearance at Saturday Night Livedurant le segment « Weekend Update ».
The one who shone so much with the University of Iowa is in New York for the WNBA draft, which will be held Monday evening.
The Indiana Fever are expected to pick her first overall.
The all-time leader in NCAA Division 1 points, the 22-year-old emerged after a joke from Michael Che about the Hawkeyes retiring her number 22.
Clark had the last laugh by asking him to read jokes of his own about the presenter.
The athlete from Des Moines then delivered a message saluting great players in basketball history.
“I’m sure this will be a great first step for me, but it’s just another step forward for the WNBA thanks to great players like Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, Dawn Staley and my hero, Maya Moore, Clark said.
“These women kicked in the door so I could get in. I want to thank them for setting the stage. »
