 Saturday's game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky was supposed to be a celebration of the WNBA's most heralded rookie class ever, featuring Fever guard Caitlin Clark against Sky forward Angel Reese and center Kamilla Cardoso.
 

Highlights of the Game:

  • Indiana Fever claimed a narrow victory, 71-70.
  • Despite the excitement, the game became yet another referendum on Clark's reputation throughout the league.

A Heated Moment:

  • Late in the third quarter, Chicago guard Chennedy Carter slammed into Clark on an inbounds pass, resulting in an off-ball foul.
  • After the quarter ended, Clark addressed the foul incident, saying, “Yeah, that’s just not a basketball play. But you know I’ve gotta play through it, that’s what basketball is about at this level,” as reported by The New York Post.
