Caitlin Clark made her WNBA regular season debut, but her pro career didn't start as she had hoped. The highly anticipated game saw Clark facing challenges, including recording 10 turnovers, the most ever in a debut in WNBA history. Additionally, she encountered foul trouble early on and struggled to score in the first quarter, missing her first four shots.
Despite the rocky start, Clark showed resilience and managed to heat up later in the game, scoring 20 points with four three-pointers. However, her shooting percentage was not ideal, going 5 for 15. The Indiana Fever, Clark's team, ultimately lost the game 92-71.
In response to the disappointing outcome, Clark expressed her determination to learn from the experience. She acknowledged the disappointment of losing but emphasized the importance of not dwelling on a single game. Clark highlighted the need for the team to focus on growth and moving forward, looking ahead to their upcoming home opener.
Reflecting on her performance, Clark mentioned that it took her some time to settle into the game. Despite the challenges faced in her debut, she remains optimistic and eager for the next opportunity to showcase her skills on the court.
