Caitlin Clark Leads Fever to First Win, Owns Tech as Shooting Slump Persists

The game highlighted her workload rising during a careful return from last year’s back injury.

Overview

  • Indiana improved to 1-1 with an 87-78 road win over the Sparks Wednesday, led by Clark’s 24 points and nine assists.
  • Clark was hit with a technical at halftime after arguing a call and later said, “I deserved the technical,” as she downplayed the incident.
  • Her long-range shot is off to a slow start at 3-for-16 through two games, including 1-for-7 in Los Angeles, even as she continues to score and set up teammates.
  • Clark said her body “feels good” after logging 31 minutes but added she is still working through the mental hurdle of trusting it following last season’s back issues.
  • Head coach Stephanie White pushed for sharper defense despite the win, prompting a smiling “She’s insane” from Clark during a postgame exchange.
