    ESPN Mics Pick Up Caitlin Clark’s WNBA All-Star Game Promise

    Caitlin Clark has been making history all season long and continued to do so during her first WNBA All-Star game.

    The Indiana Fever star became just the ninth rookie in WNBA history to start in an All-Star game, and as she has all year, she is causing a buzz on social media. Clark has been shattering viewership records left and right, and unlike previous matchups where she was going up against Angel Reese in those meetings, they are teammates tonight.

    The star rookies, along with the rest of the WNBA All-Stars, are playing against Team USA before the Olympic representatives head to Paris. Many see the All-Star game as Clark's opportunity for revenge, as she was left off the national team.

    While Clark got in the starting lineup, she hasn't gotten off to the hottest of starts, making just one of her first five shots and missing all of her three-point attempts—something that she promised she'd change, which happened to be caught by ESPN's microphones.

    Clark did get a late chance to launch another three, but was unable to hit. She just scored two points in 14 minutes of the first half, but she did dish out 16 assists and caught one board.

    After the first two quarters, it was Nneka Ogwumike who led the way for Team WNBA with eight points, two rebounds, and one assist, while Breanna Stewart led the Olympic squad with 14 points, five rebounds, and one assist.
