Caitlin ClarkThe WNBA opener finally arrived on Tuesday, but it didn’t go as planned…she recorded 10 losses – and her Fever team lost by double digits.
The former Iowa superstar’s W career officially began in Connecticut … when she and Indiana faced the Sun in the season opener — and initially, things went well.

The arena was packed – and she was applauded for the players’ performances… despite it being an away game.
But, after the report, not everything was rosy for the shooter… her 10 TOs ended up being the most in Fever history – and her team ended up falling 92-71.
She did some good things in the loss — she scored 20 points and recorded three assists and two steals — but after the contest, she said she needs to be better on offense.
“Obviously, a lot of changes,” Clark told media outlets. “It’s not going to solve the problem, but I think there are a lot of things to learn.”
“I didn’t think we played well.”
However, Clark and the Fever won’t have to wait long to recover… they play next Thursday in their home opener against Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and the New York Liberty.
