Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History Against New York Liberty

Caitlin Clark is expected to be in the lineup Saturday when the Indiana Fever host the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty
The Golden State Valkyries signed a much-needed veteran presence with anticipated key departures to EuroBasket play.
It's a strong WNBA slate for Sunday, as there are four contests with the Commissioner's Cup tipping off. The top matchup is between the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm at 6 p.m., with the Aces looking for revenge after the Storm crushed them by 20 points last Sunday.
The Valkyries pulled out an overtime win against the Sparks thanks to incredible efforts by Temi Fagbenle and Kayla Thornton.
The Valkyries lean on their rebounding skills to score in transition. In their dominant win against the Aces, the Valkyries held double-double machine and one of the league's best rebounders, A'ja Wilson, to only six boards. Golden State's intensity on the glass also helped secure the win against the Sparks in an overtime contest.
Brondello's plan worked so well that Fiebich has kept her starting role in 2025. The 9-0 Liberty are the W's only unbeaten team, featuring the league's best offense (114.2 offensive rating) and its best defense (90.2 defensive rating).
The Golden State Valkyries are not your typical expansion team and already making noise in their first season.
Golden State Valkyries lead the WNBA in attendance per game with 18,064 fans per game in their inaugural season—Caitlin Clark Effect?
Thorton was selected by the first-year franchise Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA expansion draft held in December. Vandersloot signed with the Sky in February as an unrestricted free-agent but unfortunately tore the ACL in her right knee last Saturday and will be sidelined for the remainder of this season.
