Caitlin Clark made her eagerly awaited return from injury, and the Indiana Fever star hit the ground running in Saturday’s WNBA contest against the New York Liberty.
Clark had missed five games due to a left quad injury, her longest spell on the sideline at any point in her collegiate or professional career. However, the Fever guard was cleared for Saturday’s clash with the Liberty, and promptly showed that the time off had not cost her anything in terms of shooting touch.
Up against the 9-0 defending champions, Clark was electric in the first half, shooting 69% from the floor in 16 minutes of action. That included hitting six 3-pointers, putting the 23-year-old within touch of the WNBA record of nine 3s in a single game (four players are tied for the honor).
With Caitlin Clark back on the court for the Fever, here are the WNBA star’s stats from Saturday’s game against the Liberty:
