Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever shrugged off a feisty encounter with the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday to leave Indianapolis on a high note. Clark, who got poked in the eye and shoved to the floor during the game, was in high spirits for Wednesday’s flight to Golden State.

The superstar point guard was all smiles and wore a $230 Doni Nahmias Medicine T-shirt for the trip.

Caitlin Clark was roughed up in the win against the Connecticut Sun. During the third quarter, Sun guard Jacy Sheldon clawed at her eye, prompting Clark to retaliate with a push. While the All-Star guard grabbed at her face, Marina Mabrey, Sheldon’s teammate, pushed Clark to the floor. Mabrey and Clark received technical fouls, while Sheldon was called for a flagrant foul 1..

Following the brief scuffle, the intensity and physicality ramped up. Clark refused to back down, talking trash to her opponents, who relished the back-and-forth.

Late in the fourth quarter, Sophie Cunningham wrapped up Jacy Sheldon before pulling her to the floor. The play resulted in ejections for Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen, who went after Cunningham.

Caitlin Clark finished the game with a team-high 20 points, six assists, two steals and one rebound. After a two-game homestand, she will lead the Fever on a road stretch against the Golden State Valkyries, Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm.
