Caitlin Clark‘s WNBA debut finally arrived on Tuesday, but it didn’t go as planned … she logged 10 turnovers — and her Fever team lost by double digits.
The former Iowa superstar’s W career officially kicked off in Connecticut … as she and Indiana took on the Sun for their season opener — and initially, things went well.

The arena was packed — and she was cheered at player introductions … despite it being an away game.
But, after tip-off, it wasn’t all roses for the sharpshooter … her 10 TOs ended up being the most in Fever history — and her squad ultimately fell 92-71.
She did do some good things in the defeat — she scored 20 points and recorded three assists and two steals — but after the contest, she said she has to be better going forward.
“Obviously, too many turnovers,” Clark told media members. “That’s not going to get the job done but I think just a lot of things to learn from.”

“I didn’t think we played well.”
Clark and the Fever won’t have to wait long to bounce back, however … they play next on Thursday in their home opener against Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and the New York Liberty.
