It’s been a learning curve for Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has shown flashes of dominance on a subpar Indiana Fever team, but she also has been humbled every so often.
Clark was served another reality check on Thursday night, but she adjusted her game to help the Fever to a victory.
The rookie sensation struggled shooting in her first matchup of the season against the Atlanta Dream, securing her second-lowest points total in a single game so far. However, she made up for it with her playmaking, as Clark led all players in assists in the 91-84 win over Atlanta.
Atlanta dropped to 5-6 on the season with the loss while the Fever improved to 4-10, picking up their second win at home. It marks the first of a three-game home stand for Indiana, with a matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday.
How did Clark do in her first meeting with the Dream? Here are her stats and highlights from the matchup.
