Caitlin Clark silences the skeptics as she dazzles in her WNBA preseason debut with an impressive 21 points for the Fever, but can’t find the game winner when Arike Ogunbowale’s last-gasp 3-pointer snatches victory for Dallas.

Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut Friday night with all eyes on the former Iowa star, scoring 21 points for the Indiana Fever against the Dallas Wings in a preseason game.

However, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft couldn’t lead her team to victory, as Arike Ogunbowale’s three-pointer with three seconds remaining downed the Fever 79-76.

Clark had a chance to hit a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, but the ball didn’t reach the rim.

Clark’s first pro saw her start and play the third-most minutes of any Fever player with 28.

Clark added three rebounds, two assists and two steals while going 5-of-13 from 3-point range in the game.

Clark was the No. 1 overall pick in last month’s WNBA Draft after a stellar college career at Iowa.

Clark’s first performance in a preseason game saw her score 21 points in 28 minutes.

Clark was the Fever’s leading scorer and was the game’s co-leader in points with Wings star Jaelyn Brown, each scoring 21.

Ogunbowale added 19 for the Wings, with his crossover, step-back 3-pointer sealing the victory for Dallas.
