WNBA Warns Indiana Fever Over Caitlin Clark Injury Report Before 5 p.m. Deadline
10 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 22
Thursday’s warning followed Indiana disclosing Clark’s injury only two hours before Wednesday’s game against Portland, after she was scratched late.
The Fever had not listed Clark on the prior day’s injury report even though she missed practice, violating the league rule requiring reports by 5 p.m. the night before.
Clark is now listed as probable for Indiana’s home game against Golden State after another injury scare tied to a lingering back issue she has discussed this season.
The reporting lapse lands on a team already managing repeated health concerns around its star, who is still averaging 24.3 points and 9 assists through four games.
Is the WNBA's warning a sign Caitlin Clark's back injury is more serious than her team is admitting?
Why did the Fever escape a fine for hiding Clark's injury when millions in bets were at stake?
