Caitlin Clark took center stage at Mohegan Sun Arena on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever took on the Connecticut Sun in her WNBA debut.

Clark finished with 20 points on 33.3% from the field, but the former college basketball superstar committed 10 turnovers compared to three assists.

During the latest episode of NESN’s “Hold My Banner” podcast, host Travis Thomas weighed in on Clark’s debut.

“She, I thought, got pushed around in the first half,” Thomas said. “But overall, especially after having that first half that she had, I liked how she rallied in the second half. Showed toughness. Showed aggressiveness. I though, in totality, it was a pretty good debut.”
