Caitlin Clark Leads Fever Past Wings After Ankle Scare, Sets WNBA Record

Clark’s quick recovery plus a WNBA-record 20 games with 20 points and 10 assists give the Fever momentum ahead of a road trip before the FIBA World Cup.

Overview

  • The Indiana Fever beat the Dallas Wings 98-87 on Friday night, improving to 22-12 and extending their winning streak to three games.
  • Caitlin Clark finished with 29 points and 10 assists, briefly left late in the second quarter with a left-ankle scare but returned to start the second half and said after the game the ankle 'feels good.'
  • The Fever announced Clark has a WNBA record 20 career games with at least 20 points and 10 assists, a milestone no other player has reached.
  • Kelsey Mitchell scored 23 to extend her streak to 18 straight 20-point games, while reserve Tyasha Harris hit all five of her 3-point attempts for 15 points to swing the fourth-quarter run.
  • Coach Stephanie White praised Clark’s command of the offense and the win raises stakes for Indiana as it begins a multi-game road trip and prepares for the compressed schedule around the FIBA World Cup, which will include Clark and Aliyah Boston on Team USA.
