Summary
Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever star, will return to action on Friday night after missing one game due to an injury. Clark was a late scratch in the Fever’s game against the Portland Fire on Wednesday and was not listed on the team’s injury report the previous day. The WNBA warned the Fever for failing to report Clark’s injury status before the game. Despite missing Clark, the Fever still won 90-73.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Clark’s injury was announced just two hours before tipoff, and the Fever was warned by the WNBA for not reporting it earlier.
The team still managed to win without Clark, with Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell leading the way.
This one felt recognizable early, with the Fever’s slow start and late push for victory.
Clark’s injury is a lingering concern, as she hopes to avoid the season-ending injuries that plagued her last year.
Clark’s back issue is a “learning moment” for the Fever, who will need to be more transparent about her status going forward.
