Caitlin Clark has finally made her WNBA debut after spending nearly four decorated years at college basketball.
From committing to the Iowa Hawkeyes, Clark stepped up on the women’s basketball ladder with the Indiana Fever. However, the start had to face adversity on its face as the Fever fell to the Connecticut Sun 92-71 on Tuesday night.
The game saw Caitlin Clark, the NCAA’s all-time Division I scoring leader, overcoming early setbacks to deliver a commendable performance, ultimately finishing with 20 points. The Indiana Fever made a late surge in the third quarter but were unable to bridge the gap further, resulting in a heartening defeat.
However, if we zoom out a little bit, we could find similarities between Caitlin Clark’s WNBA debut and NBA great Michael Jordan’s debut.
As the Sun’s suffocating defense forced Clark into a game-high 10 turnovers, contributing to the Fever’s 25 turnovers overall and also managed to drill four 3-pointers.
