Connecticut Sun’s smothering defense stymied the much-anticipated pro debut of Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark, who struggled to score 20 points in a 92-71 loss. The Sun’s sellout crowd cheered for Clark in her WNBA debut but were ultimately disappointed by the team’s turnovers, with Clark committing 10 herself. Despite acknowledging her room for improvement, Clark expressed confidence in her ability to adapt to the speed and physicality of elite defenders like Connecticut’s DiJonai Carrington. Fever coach Christie Sides emphasized the need for her teammates to support Clark better on the court. Despite the difficult debut, Clark’s talent and potential remain a focal point for the Fever as they aim to improve upon last season’s record. The team will have another chance to showcase their skills in their home opener against the New York Liberty on Thursday. The game will be streamed on Amazon Prime and aired locally, offering fans the opportunity to see Clark and the Fever bounce back from their tough start to the season.
