INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark returned to the Indiana Fever's starting lineup for the second half against the Connecticut Sun on Monday night after missing the final 5 1/2 minutes of the first half with appeared to be a lower left leg injury.
She was hurt after running into a pick with 5:37 left in the first half and stayed down, grabbing toward her lower leg.
When play stopped, the No. 1 pick from Iowa grimaced as she got up and limped toward the team’s bench before going directly into the tunnel near the team bench. Clark returned to the bench a few minutes later, warmed up with her teammates at halftime and then returned to the game.
She had eight points on 2-of-8 shooting with one 3-pointer, two rebounds and no assists before leaving.
