Caitlin Clark Leads Indiana Fever to Victory Over Connecticut Sun
The Indiana Fever continued their winning ways on Tuesday, June 17, as they hosted the Connecticut Sun, securing an 88-71 victory. Star player Caitlin Clark was instrumental in the win, scoring a team-high 20 points, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
According to Yahoo Sports, this performance marks Clark’s fourth time scoring at least 20 points in the six games she has played in 2025. Her impressive shooting from 3-point land continued, with her first nine points coming from behind the arc, and 12 of her 20 points from deep. Since returning from injury, Clark has demonstrated her threat from way downtown, shooting 11-for-20 (55.5%) in 3-pointers.
In addition to her scoring prowess, Clark also showcased her playmaking abilities, dishing out six assists, two steals, and one rebound. Notably, she has recorded at least six assists in every game she’s played this season. As Yahoo Sports reports, Clark’s all-around performance was crucial in securing the win for the Fever.
The game was not without controversy, however, as Clark found herself at the center of some scuffles. A chippy contest saw Clark take an inadvertent shot to the head from Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, leading to a push from Clark. The situation escalated when Sun forward Marina Mabrey jumped in and pushed Clark down on the floor. Later, after hitting a deep 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, Clark had some words for the Connecticut team.
Despite the tense moments, the Fever emerged victorious, clinching the Eastern Conference bid in the Commissioner’s Cup championship game for Indiana. This sets up an opportunity for the Fever to win a mid-season title – and extra money – in July.
