Dallas’ winning basket came with three seconds left and Clark’s 3-point attempt from the right corner at the buzzer fell short.Indiana Fever guard Caitlyn Clark drives past Dallas Wings forward Natasha Howard during a game in May 3. ARLINGTON, Texas — More than three hours before Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever in an exhibition game against the Dallas Wings on Friday night, some fans among the sellout crowd were lined up outside the arena dressed in No.
She was scoreless in the third period and sat for the final five minutes after collecting her fourth foul. Pailynn Amos, 9, was also outside the arena wearing a yellow Clark jersey with her own sign — “When I grow up I wanna be just like her.”“I watched her like crazy,” Rebecca said. “So, she just kind of grew to her. Then we were like, ‘Wow, now she’s in Dallas.’ We could actually go see her!”While Clark had plenty of fans in attendance, Wings fans didn’t give her a pass.
The game sold out all 6,251 seats soon after it was announced on Dallas’ schedule, specifically requested by Wings president and CEO Greg Bibb soon after Clark declared in February she would leave college for the WNBA with one year of eligibility remaining. Indiana won the lottery for this year’s first pick last December.
The Wings last month said they had sold out their season-ticket allotment, which accounts for about 2,500 seats.
