She went back to the locker room and didn\u2019t return.<\/p>\n<p>Clark appeared to tweak her back in the second quarter when she was fouled shooting a 3-pointer in the second quarter. She fell to the ground and was rubbing her back as she stood up. In the first quarter she went back to the tunnel and returned to the bench wearing a wrap around her back.<\/p>\n<p>She finished the game with 19 points and eight assists in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The two teams met Monday night and there were six technical fouls called and one ejection. Clark picked up her fifth technical in that game. The team is petitioning the league to have it rescinded. The physical play continued on Wednesday. On one play in the second quarter, Clark fell to the court as she drove and as players went for the loose ball, Phoenix\u2019s Alyssa Thomas appeared on video to put her fist into Clark\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n<p>No foul was called on the play, but the league could review it for a flagrant foul.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4019\">Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior silences critics with 2 more goals, giving him 4 in this World Cup for Brazil<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was egregious.

The Fever hadn\u2019t given her any injury designation for the game she didn\u2019t play and were warned by the league for not doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Clark is currently second in All-Star fan voting that was released Wednesday behind teammate Aliyah Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4017\">Swanson\u2019s epic doubleheader gives him best 4-game series in Cubs history \u2014 with game left<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP WNBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/wnba-basketball<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Caitlin Clark left the Indiana Fever\u2019s 111-109 loss to Phoenix with a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
