Caitlin Clark, once again, found herself at the center of a physical showdown on Tuesday night (June 18), as the Indiana Fever clashed with the Connecticut Sun in a bruising WNBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinal at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

After missing five games due to a quad strain, Caitlin Clark returned to action on Saturday afternoon, and helped the Indiana Fever hand the reigning champion New York Liberty their first loss of the season in front of a raucous crowd inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Kelsey Mitchell added 17 points and Natasha Howard had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana (6-5), which went above .500 for the first time since the third game of the season. Damiris Dantas scored a season-high 13 and Howard secured her 50th career double-double.
