Caitlin Clark shoots lights out from three-point range in her WNBA preseason debut with the Indiana Fever

Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut today with the Indiana Fever, living up to the hype from her college days. She scored an impressive 21 points and nailed 5 three-pointers in her first preseason match, much to the delight of fans.

The Indiana Fever started their preseason tour by playing against the Dallas Wings today in a packed College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. The former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar being the main attraction, she delivered by taking 5 threes en route to finishing with 21 points. Most importantly, all of them were from long-range. One of those long-range threes came when she made fellow first-round draftee Jacy Sheldon fall to the floor, stepped back, and shot it right on the money.

The crowd cheered every time the No. 1 draft pick made a bucket or made an assist to her teammates. Manning the point for the first time with different teammates and that too away from home was not too big a stage for her. Moreover, the WNBA got a glimpse of how she would perform at this high level.
