Caitlin Clark quashed all concerns after her ankle injury during the Indiana Fever versus Atlanta Dream skirmish. The rookie provided a positive injury update and her description left head coach Christie Sides and teammate Kelsey Mitchell in splits.
Despite the tweak that drew concerned faces on the floor, Clark ended up playing 37 minutes for 19 points, seven rebounds, and as many assists in the team’s 84-79 win on Monday.
Clark rolled her ankle early on in the game but returned looking better in the second quarter. Speaking to the media in the aftermath, Clark said:
“I saw the replay, and I look really soft. It wasn’t that bad of a turn, but it hurt.”
Mitchell led the team with a game-high 29 points. The efforts from the duo were enough to defend off a late rally by Atlanta as they edged out the Fever in scoring in the third and fourth quarters. As for Clark, the ankle may have affected her jumper and hindered her production as she shot 4-9 from beyond the arc, and 6-14 from the field. Nonetheless, the efforts translated to a win as the Fever inch closer to clinching a playoff spot in Caitlin Clark’s rookie season.
