Caitlin Clark was the talk of the town Tuesday as she made her official WNBA debut. However, the parents of the Indiana Fever rookie took some of that spotlight as they watched their daughter in the game.

Midway through the third quarter with the Fever trailing the Connecticut Sun 55-47, Clark committed a traveling violation. When the cameras panned to her parents who were watching from the sidelines, a look of disappointment can be seen.

Making things worse, it’s actually the eighth turnover of the game for Clark, which probably added more to her parents’ frustration.

It certainly wasn’t the best of nights for Caitlin Clark, as she went scoreless in the first quarter of the game. While she was able to recover from it, the Sun defense really made life hard for her.

In the end, the Fever lost to the Sun, 92-71. Clark even claimed an unwanted history with 10 turnovers–the most by a player in their debut in WNBA history.

The reaction of Clark’s parents probably sums up the day for the Fever fan base. But the good news is it’s only the first game of the season and Clark still has plenty of room to learn and grow.
