Could it have happened any other way?
Caitlin Clark played in her first WNBA preseason game in an Indiana Fever uniform, hitting a deep 3-pointer to earn her first bucket as a professional.
Shortly after grabbing a defensive rebound, Clark sank his first try from the floor, knocking down a 28-foot trey with 9:12 left in the first quarter.

She led all scorers for both the Fever and Wings with 16 points in the first half, and only got better from there.
She went 5-of-9 from the field, 4-of-8 from 3-point land, and added two rebounds and one assist.
She showed off her shooting range and ball skills, producing a number of highlight-worthy plays in the first two quarters.
