Clark Returns with 21 Points, Injury Scare

Caitlin Clark returned to Indiana home court with 21 points but left early after a collision in the third quarter of a preseason loss to Dallas.

Caitlin Clark scored 21 points in her first home game in nine months for the Indiana Fever but left with an injury scare after Dallas forward Alanna Smith collided with her leg in the third quarter. The two-time All-Star made two free throws on a Flagrant 1 call before departing and watching from the bench as the Fever fell 95-80 to the Wings.

The return was highly anticipated after Clark missed 22 games with a right groin injury. Despite the setback, fans packed Gainbridge Fieldhouse to see the star, with many wearing her No. 22 jersey. Clark said she landed hard on her kneecap but felt good after the game. newsbetting.cv
