Caitlin Clark's rookie season in the WNBA is over.
The Indiana Fever were eliminated from the 2024 WNBA playoffs after they were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the best-of-three first round matchup. The Sun fended off a late rally in Game 2 after winning Game 1 on Sunday.
Clark put up a solid effort in the elimination game, scoring a game-high 25 points with nine assists and six rebounds in the Fever's 87-81 loss. She also had one steal and one block to go along with three turnovers. It came after Clark had 11 points with eight assists in her playoff debut.
It wasn't near the blowout win Connecticut had on Sunday, but the Sun did lead for the majority of the game. Clark opened the game with a 3-pointer that made it seem like it would be a hot-shooting night. She made her second 3-pointer just a few minutes later to give Indiana a nine-point lead after making two of her first three attempts beyond the arc.
But after that, it was tough for Clark to sink another deep shot. She went just 1-for-9 from beyond the arc afterward as the Sun claimed the lead and held on to it. Connecticut got the lead to nine points in the fourth quarter, but Indiana stormed back to take a slim lead at 75-73 with a chance to force a winner-take-all Game 3. Connecticut then went on a 14-6 run to end the game and seal the sweep. Clark didn't get a shot attempt in the final two minutes and finished the night 10-for-23 from the field, including 3-for-12 on 3-pointers.
Clark's record-setting rookie season ends after 42 total games. In her first year, including playoffs, Clark scored 805 points, recorded 354 assists and pulled down 237 rebounds.
