After winning the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year and making her first All-Star and All-WNBA appearance, Caitlin Clark came into her sophomore campaign well-rested and on a mission.

In her first four games of the season, Clark averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists, but suffered an injury that would hold her out for the next five contests.

However, Clark finally returned to action on Saturday and certainly made her presence known. The Indiana Fever handed the New York Liberty their first loss of the season in a 102-88 win, and Clark showed out.

After the huge win, Clark took to Instagram to share a victory post.

"good to be back🫶🏻💫," Clark captioned the post.
