Caitlin Clark Leaves Fever's Loss with a Back Injury, Doesn't Return After 3rd-Quarter Scare
Clark left in the third quarter after a fall and finished with 19 points and 8 assists as Indiana lost 111-109.
- On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark left the Indiana Fever's 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury with a back injury, exiting with 5:15 remaining in the third quarter and not returning to the contest.
- Fever coach Stephanie White previously characterized the discomfort as an "ongoing thing" for Clark, who has appeared as probable for 13 straight injury reports due to the recurring back issue.
- During the physical contest, Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas appeared to push her fist into Clark's neck during a loose-ball scramble, and Clark had earlier revealed she gets her "back adjusted" midgame because it "gets out of line pretty quickly."
- Before her departure, Clark recorded 19 points and eight assists in 20 minutes, yet the Fever sit in sixth place at 10-7, making her health critical for maintaining WNBA playoff position.
- Clark has stated she needs to have "a little grace" with herself regarding the injury as the Fever must manage her health carefully to avoid extended absences during this competitive season.
