Overview
- Caitlin Clark reached 600 career assists in 72 games during Indiana’s 109-75 win over the Las Vegas Aces, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to hit that mark.
- The Fever have kept Clark on a minutes‑management program for a lingering back issue and listed her as probable for the July 15 game versus Golden State with expectations that restrictions will remain.
- A second‑quarter hostile‑act review in the Aces game concluded there was no hostile act and charged Clark with a common shooting foul, a ruling that intensified accusations of flopping and renewed public scrutiny of officiating.
- Indiana’s depth carried the rout: Kelsey Mitchell scored 27, Sophie Cunningham poured in 20 off the bench, and the team’s balanced scoring has helped it climb near the top of the Eastern Conference.
- Clark’s injury history and the league’s past responses to physical plays have made her availability and on‑court reactions a political and media issue, and the Fever’s cautious plan aims to build her endurance while avoiding re‑injury.
