For those of you wondering: Caitlin Clark is still a baller.
The former Hawkeye and current Indiana Fever superstar missed most of last season with multiple lower-body injuries and is finally fully healthy.
Fans have been waiting since last July to watch Clark play basketball, and in her return to the court after 241 days, she did not disappoint.
Team USA crushed Senegal 110-46, with the biggest story being Clark's dominating return to the hardwood.
Clark dropped a double-double in her senior National Team debut
Clark made her senior team debut alongside five other first-timers, including Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, and she did not disappoint.
If there were any doubts about her being rusty after a long injury layoff, she quickly silenced those doubts.

Clark notched a double-double in her debut with 17 points and 12 assists, including four three-pointers.
In typical Caitlin Clark fashion, her first basket of the game was a made three-pointer with under two minutes remaining in the first quarter, and she never looked back.
Her shot showed no signs of rust, but her passing is what stood out the most.
Clark notched an assist on her first three possessions, and her teammates couldn't miss when she was feeding them the rock.
Team USA head coach Kara Lawson debuted a hockey-style rotation with multiple players constantly subbing in and out, but Clark made her presence felt.
Team USA has a loaded backcourt featuring Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, and Kahleah Copper, with Clark, Paige Bueckers, Kelsey Plum, and Rhyne Howard.
There will be some difficult roster decisions ahead of the FIBA Women's World Cup in Germany in September 2026.
There are no guarantees that Clark will suit up for Team USA in September, but it is great to see the superstar back on the court, draining threes and dropping dimes.
