Caitlin Clark Shows Clear Frustration During Fever-Sun Game
Caitlin Clark Shows Clear Frustration During Fever-Sun Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Friday night's contest between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse was a tightly contested, high-energy affair that ultimately saw the Sun emerge with an 85-83 victory over the Fever. Advertisement Connecticut jumped out to a strong start, holding Indiana to just 16 points in the second quarter, but the momentum swung back and forth throughout the night. By halftime, the Sun led 43-39, thanks in large part to Marina Mabrey, who finished the game leading all scorers with 26 points, five rebounds and five assists. However, midway through the third quarter, a pivotal moment unfolded when Mabrey was whistled for a blocking foul. While the official call stood, Fever star Caitlin Clark, who is sidelined with a left quadriceps strain, believed it should have been ruled a take foul. A video soon circulated across social media that captured Clark visibly frustrated as she strode onto the court to voice her disagreement to the referee. Drafted first overall in 2024, Clark quickly reshaped the Fever's trajectory in her rookie season, averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game and leading the league in assists, making her the first true rookie to do so in WNBA history. Advertisement Collegiately, she left Iowa as the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer, secured back-to-back National Player of the Year honors (AP: 2023, 2024) and earned three unanimous first-team All-American selections (2022-2024).

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Marina Mabrey scored 15 of her 26 points in the third quarter, Tina Charles added 18 points and the Connecticut Sun snapped a five-game, season-opening losing streak with an 85-83 victory over the short-handed Indiana Fever on Friday night. Indiana was without star Caitlin Clark, who missed her second game due to a strained left quad. Clark was injured while playing against New York on Saturday. Advertisement Connecticut led 74-59 early in the fourth quarter before the Fever stormed back and scored 16 straight points to take the lead. Indiana, which hit only three of its first 12 3-point attempts, used a 19-2 run that was highlighted by three straight 3s for a 78-76 lead with 2:46 left. The teams combined to make a 3-pointer on four consecutive possessions, with Lexie Hull's corner 3 pulling Indiana within 82-81. Mabrey answered with a jumper from the line for a three-point lead with 1:15 left. Connecticut rookie Saniya Rivers went 1 of 2 at the line with 5.8 seconds left for an 85-83 lead. After a timeout, Kelsey Mitchell mishandled an inbounds pass and was well short on a corner 3-pointer at the buzzer with Charles defending. Advertisement Rivers finished with 12 points and six assists for Connecticut. Aliyah Boston had 17 points, five rebounds and seven assists for Indiana. Mitchell and Bonner finished with 13 points apiece. LIBERTY 85, MYSTICS 63 WASHINGTON (AP) — Sabrina Ionescu hit four 3-pointers and finished with 28 points, Jonquel Jones had 14 points and 18 rebounds, and unbeaten New York beat Washington. The defending WNBA champion Liberty (6-0) are off to the best start in franchise history.

Advertisement Sykes led Washington with 20 points. Kiki Iriafen scored 12 and Sonia Citron 10. The Mystics had scoring droughts of six-plus minutes in the third quarter and four-plus minutes in the fourth. Washington shot 28% (21 of 74) from the field, 4 of 16 from 3-point range.
