A sellout WNBA exhibition game? Welcome to the Caitlin Clark era

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — More than three hours before Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever in an exhibition game against the Dallas Wings on Friday night, some fans among the sellout crowd were lined up outside the arena dressed in No. 22 University of Iowa jerseys.

And Clark put on a show.

The two-time NCAA women’s basketball player of the year led all first-half scorers with 16 points in 16 minutes and finished with 21 points in the Fever’s 79-76 loss. She was 6 of 15 from the field including 5 of 13 from deep, and had three rebounds, two assists, four fouls and five turnovers.

She even had a chance to send the game into overtime. Dallas’ winning basket came with three seconds left and Clark’s 3-point attempt from the right corner at the buzzer fell short.

Clark’s first pro basket came on a 28-foot 3-pointer near the left sideline less than a minute into play. She hit four 3-pointers in the half and added two of three free throws when fouled on a shot behind the arc.
