The Caitlin Clark era in the WNBA has officially begun with a 20-point, 10-turnover performance in a loss to the Connecticut Sun
Clark went scoreless in the first quarter of the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. She missed her first four shots beforeThe NCAA’s all-time Division I scoring leader stole the ball around the foul line and drove the length of the court before laying the ball in. Clark had said before the game that she thought her first basket would come on a layup since it was a “high-percentage” shot.Clark later added two free throws and hit a three-pointer with 29.
Before her first basket, Clark struggled and got into early foul trouble. Her first shot was a drive to the basket that bounced hard off the glass and into Aliyah Boston’s hands for a putback. Clark missed a runner in the lane, and then her 3 from the left wing just rimmed out. She did have an assist on one basket and threw a nifty behind-the-back pass to teammate Boston, but last season’s Rookie of the Year was called for a traveling violation.
She sat around most of the day at the hotel and had to wait to get on the court when her team arrived nearly 2:30 hours before tipoff.
