This is the Caitlin Clark WNBA fans have been waiting to see.
Facing the Washington Mystics on Friday night, Clark looked like the star that brought legions of fans to women’s basketball during her career at Iowa. She put on a show for a sellout crowd at Capital One Arena in D.C., showing fans daring sharpshooter who boldly took three-pointers from everywhere on the court.
The Indiana Fever guard hit seven threes (shooting 7-for-13 from behind the arc) while tying a WNBA career-high 30 points with eight rebounds, six assists and four steals in an 85–83 win over the Mystics.
Indiana won their third game of the season, while Washington remained winless at 0–10, the only WNBA club not to earn a victory in 2024.
The Mystics threw several defenders at Clark – notably Julie Vanloo, Didi Richards and Karlie Samuelson – but she frequently freed herself up with crossover dribbles and stepbacks, along with some strong screens from teammates. And it didn’t matter how far back from the arc she was.
