- Caitlin Clark nails 3-pointer, of course, for first Team USA points
Caitlin Clark , who had her Team USA debut on March 11, officially scored her first points since July 2025 .
Clark, who hasn't played since July 15, 2025, as a member of the WNBA's Indiana Fever , did not start during the U.S. matchup against Senegal, but she created an immediate impact off the bench. At the 5:27 mark of the first quarter, the Indiana Fever star checked in, and minutes later, she officially made her first basket as a member of Team USA.

True to form, Clark's first Team USA points came from a 3-pointer at the 1:22 mark of the first quarter. The Fever guard found space after a Monique Billings screen and let the ball fly. Clark launched it from deep, and the ball hit the rim before bouncing in for the triple.
Clark's debut is going well, as she also found Billings shortly after checking in for an easy assist and score at the 4:55 mark. Billings, like Clark, also made her Team USA debut on Wednesday, along with Angel Reese , Paige Bueckers , Kiki Iriafen and Rae Burrell .
At halftime, Clark was already up to eight points and eight assists. Follow USA TODAY's live coverage of the game here .
