Caitlin Clark made her return to the court after missing five games with a groin injury, leaving Indiana Fever fans delighted. Facing off against the Golden State Valkyries, the star guard was welcomed with a warm reception. However, it did not take long for controversy to follow.
In the dying minutes of the first quarter, Clark was tightly guarded by Tiffany Hayes and she fell after stepping on Hayes’ foot. The Fever bench quickly called a timeout to retain possession, but Clark immediately expressed her displeasure toward the official, seemingly demanding a foul call.

Caitlin Clark selects Indiana Fever teammates to All-Star team
Caitlin Clark, the leading vote-getter in the fan ballot, was named an All-Star Team captain and instantly revealed her draft strategies.
In an interview during the team’s practice session, Clark made her intentions clear to recruit all of her teammates.
“Obviously, I’m gonna try to get my teammates in my team. Why wouldn’t I? That’s obviously the goal,” Clark revealed during an interview on Sunday. “Once they come it with whoever is made it and whoever hasn’t, I’ll guess I get to pick and choose.”
Clark stayed true to her word during the All-Star draft. With the very first pick from the eight-player starter pool, she selected Aliyah Boston. Later, she used her first selection from the reserve to bring in Kelsey Mitchell.
Caitlin Clark’s starting lineup also features Sabrina Ionescu, A’ja Wilson, and Satou Sabally. She selected Gabby Williams, Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Jackie Young, and Kayla Thornton as her remaining reserve players.
