Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut by scoring 21 points with three rebounds, two assists, and two steals despite the Indiana Fever losing to the Dallas Wings 79-76 in a preseason matchup in Arlington, Texas.
Clark said Friday in a post-game press conference “My biggest goal coming into tonight was being myself, have fun playing basketball, be aggressive. Thought that’s what I did.”
Clark struggled at times, finishing with just two assists to five turnovers and getting into foul trouble early in the second half. However, she shows signs, that she will be the face of the WNBA for years to come.
The game went down the wire; Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale had the winning basket with just three seconds left on the clock. Clark’s 3-point attempt from the right corner to force overtime fell just short at the buzzer. “You couldn’t ask for a better game,” Clark said.
