Caitlin Clark’s WNBA career is off and running. During the Indiana Fever’s preseason game against the Dallas Wings on Friday, Clark scored her first points in a way that many expected — a long three pointer.
Despite playing away at the College Park Center, the Wings’ home court, the support for Clark was undeniable, underscoring her potential impact on the league. Her emergence onto the professional stage comes as no surprise to basketball enthusiasts, given her recent dominance in women’s basketball.
Clark’s standout performances for Iowa in the NCAA March Madness tournament garnered widespread attention, particularly in games against LSU, UConn, and South Carolina. Her exceptional shooting prowess and record-breaking achievements have solidified her status as a celebrated figure nationwide, sparking discussions about her place in NCAA history.
Caitlin Clark joins the Indiana Fever
Now, she’s starting a new chapter in the WNBA.
The Indiana Fever have been experiencing a drought as of late. Having finished the last seven seasons without a postseason appearance, the Fever are hoping that their dynamic duo of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston can finally beat the odds this year.
It won’t be easy, especially with powerhouses such as the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty looking to dominate once again. Nonetheless, the Fever have just drafted (arguably) a generational talent, so they’ll be looking to make noise like never before.
