UNCASVILLE, Conn.—DeWanna Bonner climbed the all-time scoring list with 20 points and the Connecticut Sun capitalized on Caitlin Clark’s mistake-prone WNBA debut Tuesday night to defeat the Indiana Fever 92–71 in a season-opening game.

Clark, the No. 1 overall selection in the WNBA draft after a record-breaking college career at the University of Iowa, tallied a team-high 20 points and three assists but committed 10 turnovers and committed four fouls. She shot 5-for-15 from the floor, including 4-of-11 from 3-point range.
