Indiana opened its season with an 87-78 road win over Los Angeles, overcoming an early flashpoint when Cameron Brink blocked Caitlin Clark at the rim and shouted an expletive.
Clark still finished with 24 points and nine assists, while Kelsey Mitchell added 23 as the Fever got the last word after Brink's first-half rejection.
Brink scored 11 points with five rebounds and three blocks in 19 bench minutes, but the Sparks fell to 0-2 despite Kelsey Plum's 25 points.
A halftime technical on Clark for arguing with a referee added to the game's edge, underscoring the heightened attention around her matchups since her 2024 debut.
