[Saba Sports News] Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever rookie, experienced a tough welcome to the WNBA. During the first quarter of a game against the New York Liberty at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Clark was caught off guard by a solid screen from Breanna Stewart as she attempted to defend Courtney Vandersloot.
The impact was significant, and she didn’t see it coming, which indicates she might not have received a verbal warning from her teammates about the incoming screen. This incident occurred during the Fever’s second consecutive matchup with the Liberty, with New York winning both games, including Saturday’s 91-80 victory.
Despite the rough moment, Clark managed to score 22 points, leading her team, though the Fever fell to 0-3.
