Overview
- Caitlin Clark is sidelined for at least two weeks with a left quadriceps strain, marking her first missed game since high school and prompting a re-evaluation on June 9.
- Indiana fell 83-77 in Baltimore as DeWanna Bonner led the bench with 21 points, while no other Fever player scored more than 15.
- The team shot a season-low 39.7% overall, went 5-for-21 from three-point range and registered zero fast-break points against Washington’s defense.
- Without Clark on the floor, Indiana’s scoring efficiency plunged from 107.5 points per 100 possessions to 87.7, highlighting heavy dependence on her playmaking.
- Clark remained active from the bench—arguing calls, filming warm-ups and cheering teammates—as coaches shift ball-handling duties to Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston and Sydney Colson.
