Caitlin Clark returned to the court from an injury scare on Monday, but her Indiana Fever fell short in an 88-84 thriller against the Connecticut Sun.
Clark rolled her left ankle in the second quarter. The Fever went into halftime with a 44-41 lead despite Clark's absence for the final 5:32 of the half. Clark returned in the third quarter and helped the Fever rally from a nine-point second-half deficit. But the Sun capitalized on multiple Clark mistakes down the stretch that helped secure the win.
Clark finished with 17 points, five assists and five turnovers and remains in search of her first WNBA win since being selected first overall in April's draft.
