Caitlin Clark wowed on her return to WNBA action Friday night and a new clip has highlighted just how impressive the Indiana Fever rookie was.
The No. 1 draft pick beat three USA Olympic gold medal winners in a 98-89 victory on her return to the WNBA as the Fever held off the Phoenix Mercury in dramatic fashion.
Clark was sensational in the first half especially as she came flying out the blocks after her month-long break from league play due to the Paris Games.
The 22-year-old scored 29 points as the Fever escaped a scare after burning a 28-point lead during the third quarter.
Yet, one of her most impressive moments of the victory came as an assist rather than a bucket for herself.

A new angle of Caitlin Clark’s pass Friday night highlighted just how impressive she was
The WNBA rookie set up teammate Kelsey Mitchell (left) during the Fever’s victory
Clark found teammate Kelsey Mitchell with a rocket of a pass that flew past the face off Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner. Mitchell pounced on the pass and swiftly found the net.
A new angle of the pass was shared in fresh footage by the WNBA, leaving fans stunned.
Clark set another record on her way to victory as well – becoming the first rookie in WNBA history to record 450+ PTS and 200+ AST.
Clark also recorded her 10th double-double of the season as her team swept the three-game series with Phoenix in front of a sold-out Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd, who had waited over a month to see their star player back in action.
‘We were incredible, we had a few lapses that didn’t look very pretty for us but we always found a way to respond,’ Clark said afterwards.

‘It sets the tone of were we want to be the rest of the season, to grind this one out. It’s one at a time and we have got another big one Sunday.’
Mitchell supported Clark fantastically in the Fever attack with 28 points of her own.
‘I enjoy it,’ Kelsey said of their connection in a post-game press conference. ‘I just think basketball is a language and you got to get on the same page with your kind of person.
‘Me and C-square like to play the same way, fast and up-tempo. So, I’m always aligned based on how she is playing and how the game is going and I’m gonna take it in stride cause I enjoy it, I’m with it’.
