Caitlin Clark nailed a tightly-contested 3-pointer from deep in her first game since the Olympic break

Caitlin Clark Mercury Fever WNBA

Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark and her team returned to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday night after a month off, and you could tell the rest helped out Indy a good bit.

The Fever got off to a very good start against the Phoenix Mercury in their post-Olympic break game, which of course featured an excellent 3-point shot from Clark from beyond the arc with a Mercury defender in her path.

Watching Clark hit a 3-pointer from deep is a big part of why her rookie season has been such an exciting stretch in sports this summer.

This outstanding 3-ball with tough Mercury defense on her is a heck of a sign of what may be to come as the rookie closes out her first year in the WNBA.
