WNBA warns Fever Over Caitlin Clark Injury Disclosure
The WNBA issued an official warning to the Indiana Fever for failing to disclose Caitlin Clark’s injury ahead of a game vs. Portland, as the league requires injury designations by 5 p.m. the day before. The Fever described Clark’s absence as a back issue being managed, with no monetary penalty imposed. Clark later returned to play, and Indiana won 90-73, underscoring her impact on attendance and the league’s focus on injury reporting.
