Some said she couldn’t do it. Some said her game wouldn’t translate. Some said she will have to adjust.
Caitlin Clark didn’t hear any of it. The Iowa Hawkeyes’ legend turned Indiana Fever star simply stepped into the WNBA and showed everyone it is a new era of women’s basketball.
Clark played 28 minutes Friday night in the Indiana Fever’s first preseason game, but she scored a team-high 21 points with five 3-pointers. She had her usual step back working, her catch and shoot was flawless and she played confidently.
The star is here to stay and she made a very loud and clear statement in her first action. She can’t just transition to the pro game, she appears ready to take over the pro game.
Take a look at some of the best shots of Caitlin Clark’s first WNBA action.
