A sellout crowd of 17,424 filled Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to see Caitlin Clark’s home debut for the Indiana Fever against the New York Liberty, last season’s WNBA Eastern Conference champions.
Unfortunately, Clark struggled in her second WNBA game, scoring only nine points in front of the home crowd. She shot 2-for-8 from the field (including 1-for-7 on three-pointers), but added seven rebounds and six assists in a 102–66 loss to the one of the best teams in the league.
Sabrina Ionescu finished with 14 points for New York with seven rebounds. Jonquel Jones added 14 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, while Betnijah Laney-Hamilton scored 12.
New York improved to 2–0 for the season, while Indiana dropped to 0–2.
More Caitlin Clark
The home sellout was the Fever’s first since October 2012 when they played in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals. The crowd was also the second-best for a home opener in franchise history (behind 18,345 in 2003) and the third-largest attendance for a regular season game (17,704 in 2016).
Clark never shook off a slow start
Unfortunately, Clark didn’t provide the home fans much to cheer about in the first half. She scored only two points on 1-for-5 shooting (and 0–for-4 on three-pointers) and committed three turnovers, while facing tough defense from the Liberty’s Courtney Vandersloot and Ivana Dojkic. However, Clark did add four rebounds and five assists.
Aliyah Boston led the Fever with 12 points and seven rebounds in a tough matchup with Jones. Katie Lou Samuelson added 10.
Up next for Clark and the Fever is another matchup with the Liberty, this one in New York on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ABC.
