The prodigious point guard’s Indiana Fever have lost their first two games
Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell talks with teammate guard Caitlin Clark.
As if the rest of the teams wanted to warn Caitlin Clark about the WNBA, the prodigious point guard is being given a tough welcome to the competition. In what was her debut, the Indiana Fever lost 92-71 to the Connecticut Sun. In their home opener it was even worse: 66-102 against the New York Liberty. That -57 accumulated in the first two games is the worst record to start to a league campaign in its 28-year history.
Clark, the No. 1 pick in the draft, scored nine points against the Liberty, the WNBA runner-up. She also grabbed seven rebounds and dished out six assists, but was very poor in shooting: 2/8 with only one successful three-pointer in seven attempts. She controlled the turnovers, though. She went from 10 in her debut to three.
Caitlin Clark’s brutal introduction to the WNBA
I’m easily taken out of the blocks. The game feels fast to me at the moment. The more I play and the more comfortable I get, everything will slow down a little bit. It will be easier for me to make reads and see how things unfold,” Clark said by way of assessment after her first two matches.
The stands at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis were packed to capacity to see their star’s first home game. There were 17,274 spectators, when last season’s average for Fever games was 4,000. Maximum expectation and deep disappointment.
Because what the fans saw was a thrashing led by Breanna Stewart with 31 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks. A warning from who is one of the best players in the WNBA to the youngster who can put the competition in another dimension. Despite her painful dawn.
