One of the world's leading stars, Caitlin Clark, made her FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup bow this afternoon as the USA defeated China 94-61.
Clark has become a basketball phenomenon who has transcended the women's game to new heights, with her four million Instagram followers signposting her popularity.
The Indiana Fever guard boasts an impressive list of accolades, having been named WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024, selected to the All-WNBA First Team and named an All-Star in each of the past two seasons.
The USA made a strong start to their title defence as DAZN News analyses Clark's performance.
Unsurprisingly, Clark played a pivotal role as the USA waltzed to victory against China in their opening Group D encounter.
The guard finished the game with an efficiency of 22, contributing 14 points and 11 assists, the only American to post a double-double.
Clark did not start the contest, but found her best form in the second half and, as expected, looked at home on the grandest stage.
Up next for Team USA is a meeting with Italy on Sunday.
