INDIANAPOLIS -- Caitlin Clark admitted to being a bit anxious before playing in her first regular-season WNBA game since July 15. Injuries limited her to just 13 games last season, and here she was, stepping back onto the court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, bathed in an overhead spotlight as the crowd strained their vocal cords.
The 2024 No. 1 pick, Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Star had officially returned. She finished with 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds. The 3-point shot was off, though, Saturday as she went 2-for-9 from beyond the arc.
"I feel good," Clark said after the Fever's 107-104 loss to the Dallas Wings. "Started off a little slow, I think just the anxiety of the first game, trying to work through that. But overall, I felt good, felt fast out there. Felt like I was literally a couple buckets away from putting together a really, really good game and helping us win."
