By Despite Caitlin Clark‘s immense talent, her solid, albeit underwhelming, play to start her WNBA career has not led to any wins. The Indiana Fever are winless (0-3) to start the season and will face off against the undefeated Connecticut Sun (2-0) looking to claim their first victory.
The Sun are a great team though. In fact, they’ve already beaten the Fever this year, taking care of business 92-71 on May 14. DeWanna Bonner and DiJonai Carrington handle most of the scoring for the Sun, while Alyssa Thomas handles the glass. The three of them pair very well together and have been major contributors to the Sun’s playoff success in recent years, even if they have not been able to break through for a championship.
The Fever might have a bright future ahead, but through three games, they’ve lost by a combined 68 points. That’s averaging more than 20 points per loss. That’s not great, and even though the Fever will have the benefit of playing at home tonight, their worst loss of the season — a 102-66 loss to the New York Liberty — also came at home. Hopefully for them, they can start putting pieces together.
Here’s how to watch tonight’s Sun-Fever matchup.
WNBA News: Caitlin Clark isn’t instantly dominating WNBA. That’s not surprising. She wasn’t going to.
