Caitlin Clark cooked in her first game in eight months.
Clark had 17 points and 12 assists in 19 minutes of action on Wednesday. She scored her first bucket with 1 minute, 22 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Indiana Fever guard, of course, hit a 3.
“Different than a WNBA game, but for myself, it’s a nice way to ease back into it, and I felt like I was effective when I was out there,’ Clark said. ‘But more than anything, just makes me happy that I’m super sweaty right now and I got to play.”
Newcomers Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese also saw their first action as members of the U.S. senior team. Bueckers finished with nine points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 14 minutes. Reese added six points, eight rebounds and an assist in 17 minutes.
