Caitlin Clark made a dominant return for the Indiana Fever on Saturday, scoring 32 points with eight rebounds and nine assists in a 102-88 win over the previously undefeated New York Liberty. The performance ended the Liberty’s 9-0 start to the season and marked Clark’s return after missing five games with a strained quad.
LeBron James praised Clark’s comeback on social media, posting, “The CC EFFECT!! WELCOME BACK! You were missed!” The NBA star has long supported Clark, dating back to her collegiate career at Iowa.
James previously defended Clark against criticism from WNBA veterans such as Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart, writing in April 2024: “If you don’t rock with Caitlin Clark game you’re just a FLAT OUT HATER!!!!! Stay far away from them people!! PLEASE.”
Clark has often expressed admiration for James, saying, “LeBron is, like, the greatest player of all-time… I’ve always been a fan of him.”
