Caitlin Clark Sets WNBA Debut on Fire with 21 Points and 5 Three-Pointers in Preseason Loss to Dallas Wings

Caitlin Clark, the highly anticipated first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, made her professional debut with a bang on May 3, leading all scorers with an impressive 21 points in the Indiana Fever's preseason opener against the Dallas Wings. The game took place at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas and sold out all 6,521 seats.

Clark's first basket as a professional came from beyond the arc with a 3-pointer just nine minutes into the first quarter. She went on to shoot an impressive 5 of 13 from three-point range for the game, adding three rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Despite her strong performance, Clark's team lost to Dallas with a score of 79-76. Arike Ogunbowale hit a game-winning buzzer-beating 3 to secure the win for the Wings.

Clark's debut was highly anticipated due to her impressive college career at Iowa, where she was named NCAA women's basketball player of the year twice. She is expected to bring a new wave of interest and excitement to women's basketball as she begins her professional journey with the Fever.

The WNBA regular season is set to begin on May 14 for both teams, with Indiana facing off against the Connecticut Sun.
