The WNBA season has officially begun, and opening weekend brought fans into arenas eager to watch their favorite stars. The Indiana Fever hosted the Dallas Wings in a thrilling matchup to tip off the season.
However, the Fever came up short in a three-point loss to the Wings. They will need to regroup quickly before heading west to face the Los Angeles Sparks.
Franchise star Caitlin Clark returned to action and scored 20 points in the losing effort. Still, basketball fans noticed a concerning aspect of Clark’s game that hurt the Fever — her defense.

X user “I Talk Hoops,” a prominent voice in WNBA coverage, highlighted Clark’s underwhelming defensive performance. Players defended by Clark shot 9-of-12 from the field and scored 25 points.
It was a season debut Clark will likely want to forget. She often looked out of position, overmatched defensively, and ineffective throughout stretches of the game.
That does not mean she cannot bounce back on Wednesday. Still, Clark will need to improve defensively if she wants to help elevate the Fever moving forward.
Her defensive struggles may have played a significant role in Saturday’s season-opening loss. All eyes remain on Clark, who has already established herself as one of the league’s most exciting young stars.
