INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark learned some tough lessons from her first two WNBA tests.
She’s struggled with fouls, expectations and, like most rookies, making a smooth transition from college ball to the pro level. And, here, there’s no grading curve, as Clark found out Thursday night.
Two-time league MVP Breanna Stewart ruined Clark’s regular season home debut by scoring 31 points to lead the New York Liberty to a 102-66 win in front of a sellout crowd of 17,247.
“I think this is how you want everything to be, you want a sellout crowd like this,” Stewart said. “It gives you a little bit of a playoff atmosphere feel because usually in the playoffs, the games are sold out. We might be changing our terminology if we’re just going to continue to set the precedent of sellouts home or away.”
Clark’s presence has changed everything about the women’s sport — except the wins and losses for Indiana, which hasn’t made the playoffs since 2016 is now 0-2 in the Clark era.
