Summary
Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s star player, was not listed on the injury report entering the game against the Nigerian national team. However, she collided with a Dallas Wings player in the previous game and limped to the bench, but appeared to walk it off and returned to the game to score a team-high 21 points. Clark was available and in the starting lineup for Saturday night’s game despite the injury scare. The Fever are getting healthy ahead of the regular season, with center Aliyah Boston expected to make her debut and guard Ty Harris cleared to play.

The game followed a familiar script.
Clark’s injury scare was a classic “oh no, but it’s fine” moment.
The Fever are always dealing with injuries, and it’s a wonder they make it through a season.
They’re getting healthy, but so are their opponents.
The regular season can’t come soon enough, as the Fever try to avoid another underwhelming performance.
Original observation: The WNBA is always a league of attrition.
