After missing five games due to a quad strain, Caitlin Clark returned to action on Saturday afternoon, and helped the Indiana Fever hand the reigning champion New York Liberty their first loss of the season in front of a raucous crowd inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Caitlin Clark scored a season-high 32 points and equaled a career-high seven three-pointers on her return from injury as the Indiana Fever defeated the New York Liberty 102-88 on Saturday.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark got some heavy praise in her return from injury. Clark returned to the Fever lineup on Saturday after a five-game absence due to a quadriceps injury. She scored a team-high 32 points and led the Fever to a 102-88 victory over the previously undefeated New York Liberty.
The Fever said Caitlin Clark will return from injury for Saturday's matchup with the reigning champion Liberty. The day before the game, she nailed a halfcourt shot.
Caitlin Clark sized up Breanna Stewart on the wing in the second quarter, crossed over and stepped back for a 3-pointer from 31 feet. After the preposterous triple splashed through the net, Clark ribbed the two-time MVP back down the court, and all Stewart could do was laugh.
