Caitlin Clark, the top overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, made her pro debut before a sellout crowd in the Indiana Fever’s preseason game against the Dallas Wings on Friday night. 

Clark, 22, stuck true to her roots as the NCAA Division 1 all-time leading scorer, dropping a team-high of 21 points in the Fever’s 79-76 loss. She led the first half with 16 points in 16 minutes, scoring 21 points in 28 minutes.

"My biggest goal coming into tonight was to continue to be myself, have fun playing basketball, be aggressive – I thought that’s what I did. So, I think [I have] a lot to be proud of," Clark told reporters after the game.

It was a narrow victory for Dallas that came down to the wire. Dallas’ Arike Ogunbowale had the winning basket with just three seconds left on the clock. Clark’s 3-point attempt from the right corner to force overtime fell just short at the buzzer. 

"You couldn’t ask for a better game," Clark added. 

The former Iowa star undoubtedly brought in the sellout crowd, as her jerseys filled the room.
