Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has achieved a rare level of fame in basketball—the kind of fame where any hard foul immediately becomes a story.
So it went Sunday during the Connecticut Sun's 93–69 win over the Fever in Game 1 of the WNBA playoffs' first round. With about eight and a half minutes left in the first quarter and the Sun up 3–2, Clark dribbled inside Connecticut's three-point line, passed the ball, and took a painful poke in the eye by Sun guard and forward DiJonai Carrington.
