Caitlin Clark live stats: Fever vs. Liberty score, updates, highlights from 2024 WNBA game

Caitlin Clark’s second test as a WNBA player will be quite a battle.

The Fever rookie enjoyed a less-than-ideal first day at work on Tuesday, coughing up the ball a record 10 times as Indiana fell to the Sun, 92-71. She faltered amid incessant badgering by Connecticut standout DiJonai Carrington, who raced through and around screens to wreak havoc on the Fever’s backcourt.

There were flashes of brilliance from Clark, who whetted the nylon with four triples, three of which came on her patented stepback. However, it was an uneven showing, one that could have slightly tempered expectations for Clark’s rookie campaign.

If the Sun were a challenge, the Liberty — runners-up in last year’s WNBA Finals — could prove a menace. Courtney Vandersloot, Betjinah Laney, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart form about as formidable a unit as one could dream up in the W. And despite a closer-than-expected result against the Mystics, they figure to place right at the top of the league’s totem pole in 2024.

Clark has her work cut out for her. Given her pedigree, that might be a good thing for the Hawkeyes icon.

5:35 p.m.: Here’s a look at the Fever’s floor design for their home opener. It’s nothing if not large and eye-catching. Whether that’s a good thing remains to be seen, though.

5:30 p.m.: Speaking of entrances, it’s going to be hard to top that of fellow Fever guard Erica Wheeler. I can’t even discern what type of car that is.

5:20 p.m.: Clark is in the building for tonight’s contest. She strutted to the game in a black top and flared floral black-and-white pants. Looks like she might have some all-black dunks on as well.
