Caitlin Clark plays through back injury as Indiana Fever beat Connecticut Sun

Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark was listed as probable for the game against the Connecticut Sun despite a lingering back injury that has affected her since mid‑May. The Fever relied on her performance, and Clark delivered a team‑high 25 points on 10‑of‑17 shooting, helping Indiana secure an 85‑75 victory and extend its three‑game winning streak.

During the contest Clark was assessed two technical fouls: a personal foul after she punched the air following a non‑call, and a delay‑of‑game technical for kicking the ball after an inbounds play. She defended the calls, calling the delay‑of‑game decision “ridiculous.” The win kept the Fever in the upper half of the conference as they continue to manage Clark’s health while contending for a playoff spot.
