WNBA league representatives had no comment Thursday morning when asked if the Fever would be investigated for their injury reporting this week.
Roughly an hour and a half before tip-off yesterday, Indiana’s star guard Caitlin Clark was announced as a late scratch against the Portland Fire because of a sore back. She had not previously been listed on the injury report. Fever coach Stephanie White said that Clark had not participated in practice the day before and had instead received treatment. The guard then woke up on Wednesday “with some stiffness and soreness,” White said, and the Fever decided that she would not play in the game that night.
