Caitlin Clark just blew up the box score against our Seattle Storm, dropping a historic 45 points and 10 assists to power the Indiana Fever to a tight 110-107 win on Friday night. But less than 24 hours later, the question everyone in the league is asking is about her availability: The Fever superstar is now listed as probable with a back injury for tonight’s game.
She Torched the Emerald City
Our Storm got a front-row seat to an absolute masterclass in the Emerald City. Clark wasn’t just scoring, she was everywhere, putting on a fantastic shooting performance. In only 29 minutes of pure brilliance, she hit 11 of 18 field goals and went ballistic from downtown, connecting on 6 of 10 3-point tries. She wasn’t done there, either, adding four steals, two rebounds, and two blocks. That kind of all-around domination is exactly why the Fever edged out our squad 110-107.
The Back-To-Back Battle for Indiana
Now, the focus shifts to tonight. The Fever released their game day status report for the second game of this back-to-back against the New York Liberty, and Clark is officially listed as probable with that nagging back issue. Fever head coach Stephanie White indicated on Friday evening that the team absolutely plans on Clark being available. That’s a massive relief for Indiana, who are currently 15-10 and facing the 13-11 Liberty in a crucial Saturday night contest. Plus, they’re already dealing with center Aliyah Boston being questionable with a right lower leg injury after missing Friday’s game.
This isn’t just about one incredible night. Clark’s been lights out all season, averaging 20.9 points, 7.8 assists, and 4 rebounds per game, hitting 43.1% from the field and 33.8% from three. You know she’s got to be a little sore after carrying her team past ours. Catch the Fever and Liberty battle it out tonight at 7 p.m. CT on CBS, live from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. You know Seattle fans will be watching to see if she can keep up that pace!
