From DEEEEEEP 😮‍💨 Caitlin Clark knocks down an early triple. IND-LVA | NBC & Peacock Tap to Watch: https://t.co/PB Via @WNBA on X

What happened: The guard connected on a three-pointer from deep during the opening stretch of the matchup on NBC and Peacock. She took the floor after entering the day listed as probable due to a reported back injury.

Why it matters: The early scoring established offensive momentum for the Indiana Fever against a Las Vegas squad that entered the day 3-1 on the season. Maintaining perimeter efficiency remains central for Indiana during a stretch of national broadcasts across the league.

By the numbers: Las Vegas entered the contest averaging 94.0 points per game while allowing 76.8 points per outing during a 3-1 start to the 2026 season.

What to watch: Monitor how Indiana handles perimeter spacing against the Las Vegas defense as the contest progresses. Both teams continue regular-season play later in the week.
