How Caitlin Clark fared in home debut as Liberty crush Fever
Clark didn’t have the best game from the field after a turnover-filled season opener.
Caitlin Clark’s home debut is in the books.
But, like her WNBA debut on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun, it ended with a loss.
Clark and the Indiana Fever on Thursday fell at home to the New York Liberty 102-66 to drop to 0-2 on the young season.
Indiana made a run late in the third quarter to set up an intriguing fourth, but New York went on a 16-3 run to shut the door and move to 2-0.
Clark, after logging 20 points on 5-for-15 shooting overall (4-for-11 from deep, 6-for-6 at the foul line), three assists, two steals and 10 turnovers against the Sun, didn’t have the freedom to fare better against the Liberty.
The No. 1 overall pick posted just nine points on 2-for-8 shooting overall (1-for-7 from deep, 4-for-4 free throws) to go with seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three turnovers in 30 minutes.
2023 No. 1 overall pick Aliyah Boston led Indiana with 12 points on 5-for-15 shooting, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and a block.
