Caitlin Clark Returns with 21 Points but Leaves Game

Caitlin Clark made a triumphant return to the Indiana Fever home court, scoring 21 points in her first game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse since July. However, the two-time All-Star's night was cut short when she collided with Dallas forward Alanna Smith in the third quarter.

The collision resulted in a Flagrant 1 call, and Clark made two free throws before leaving the game. "I feel good. I just landed on my kneecap really hard," Clark said after the 95-80 preseason loss to the Wings. The Fever star had been sidelined since July 15 with a right groin injury, missing 22 regular-season games and the WNBA semifinals. xsportfeed.quest
