Overview

  • Clark returned from a groin injury in her first game since June 24, scoring 10 points on 4-for-12 shooting with six assists and five rebounds in an 80-61 defeat.
  • Golden State’s pressure defense held the Fever to a season-low 30.9% shooting and powered a 33-9 run that reversed a 23-14 Indiana lead.
  • Stephanie White criticized the team’s lack of competitive fire and announced plans to play Clark off the ball while Sophie Cunningham called for heightened urgency.
  • Clark’s 3-for-28 mark from three-point range over the past four games registers as the worst four-game percentage in WNBA history.
  • The Fever dropped to 9-10 overall and will host the Atlanta Dream on Friday as they seek to regain consistency before the All-Star break.
