Caitlin Clark finally arrived in the WNBA with a brilliant individual performance over the LA Sparks. Despite her team sustaining a loss, the rookie was out on an All-Round show that helped the Indiana Fever to get close to the score of the Sparks. In an 82-88 loss of her side, Caitlin claimed her maiden 30-pointer. The fans finally got to see what they had been waiting for.

Since the beginning of the season, there has been a huge hype about the youngster. However, she could not live up to the expectations in the first seven games. In the last match against Las Vegas Aces, she managed to claim just eight points. The youngster needed a great performance to boost herself and the team. She did exactly that and made the fans proud.

Clark claimed a total of 30 points and had rebounds to her name. The youngster was involved in 6 assists and had 3 blocks and steals respectively. These were impressive numbers for someone as young as her. In the process, she became only the fourth WNBA player to possess such numbers in a single game. She was on the court for 38 minutes in the game.

When Claitin was on the court, Indiana Fever was in the game with a lead of 4 points. When she was taken off the court, LA Sparks gained a massive lead and finished the game with a margin of 88-82. Fans were impressed with the performance of the young player. Be it defence or offence, she was equally good. In an instant, Clark got over among the fans.

One of the users claimed the performance of Clark to be on the level of SGA who was known to claim 30-pointers for fun. Another user wrote that Clark is the unanimous rookie of the year by a mile. Some of the fans expected more from her and asked for a crazy run with a series of great performances like she delivered one against the Sparks.
