Wings Edge Fever in Opener as Caitlin Clark Returns and Hits 1,000 Points

Clark said her two brief exits were back adjustments with no new injury.

Overview

  • The Dallas Wings beat the Indiana Fever 107-104 Saturday in Indianapolis after Caitlin Clark missed a late three and Kelsey Mitchell’s last-second try to tie also bounced out.
  • Caitlin Clark logged 31 minutes in her first regular-season game since July 2025, finishing with 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds, and reaching 1,000 career points in her 54th game.
  • Clark left the bench twice in the second half for what she called quick back adjustments, and coach Stephanie White said the team will manage ongoing mechanical alignments but cleared her for about 30 minutes.
  • Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 30 points and Aliyah Boston added 23 for Indiana, while Dallas got 22 from Arike Ogunbowale, 20 from Paige Bueckers and 20 from Odyssey Sims, with rookie Azzi Fudd scoring three in her debut.
  • Dallas shot 59% and piled up fast-break points in a game that spotlighted Indiana’s defensive gaps, and the Fever now turn to the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday, May 13, with Clark’s workload and back care under close watch.
