Overview

  • Caitlin Clark tallied 32 points, eight rebounds and nine assists in her first game back from a left quad injury.
  • Saturday’s 102–88 victory over the New York Liberty improved the Fever to 5–5 overall and 3–1 in Eastern Conference Cup play.
  • Indiana can clinch the East’s spot in the July 1 championship game with a win against Connecticut at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
  • The Atlanta Dream hold the head-to-head tiebreaker after beating Indiana earlier, so the Fever also rely on New York to defeat Atlanta if they slip up on Tuesday.
  • Sports analyst Colin Cowherd hailed Clark’s comeback as “the greatest moment in league history,” underscoring her impact on the team’s fortunes.
