The New York Liberty spoiled Caitlin Clark's home opener with the Indiana Fever in dominant fashion.
Facing an early Indiana Fever epidemic, the New York Liberty survived the fist wave on Thursday night.
Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart each put up double-doubles as the Liberty rolled to a 102-66 victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, spoiling the Indianapolis debut of 2024's top draft pick Caitlin Clark. New York led wire-to-wire as Stewart led the way with 31 points while Jones continued her strong start with 14 more. Both pulled in 10 rebounds while fellow starters Sabrina Ionescu and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton also reached double-figures in scoring.
Though she was only 2-of-8 from the field, Clark was able to at least do a little something once the game got out of hand, scorning nine points with seven rebounds and six assists. Clark also lost only three turnovers after she dropped 10 in her unofficial debut on Tuesday in Connecticut. Indiana won't have to wait long for potential revenge, as it'll serve as the Liberty's opponent in the 2024 Barclays Center opener on Saturday afternoon .
