Caitlin Clark Draws Praise for Bench Leadership as Fever Head to Game 3

Left off the playoff roster, the injured guard is contributing through courtside observations.

Overview

  • Head coach Stephanie White said Clark’s on-bench reads and encouragement have aided Indiana’s in-game adjustments.
  • Clark is ineligible for the postseason because she was not listed on the Fever’s submitted playoff active roster.
  • The 2024 Rookie of the Year appeared in 13 games before a right groin injury ended her season, and she later sustained a bone bruise while attempting a return.
  • Indiana finished 24-20 for the No. 6 seed and split the first two games with the No. 3 seed Dream, setting up tonight’s decider at 7:30 p.m. ET in Atlanta.
  • Season-ending injuries to Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Chloe Bibby have thinned the roster, though light locker-room banter about Clark’s Game 2 outfit underscored intact team chemistry.
