Caitlin Clark Secures Rare Rookie Feat In WNBA Debut

On Tuesday night, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever suffered a 21-point loss to the Connecticut Sun in their regular season debut. The final score was 92-71.

Despite Clark's 20 points, she did not have the best game. She only made 5 of her 15 shots and 4 of her 11 three-point attempts. She also recorded a miserable 10 turnovers.

Even with her poor performance, Clark still managed to make WNBA history. She joined Maya Moore and Edna Campbell as the only players to tally 20+ points and 4+ three-pointers made in their debut. Great company for Clark to be in.
