Caitlin Clark returns to Fever lineup after late scratch with back injury, official warning
WNBA injury rules dictate that teams have to report injuries, illnesses or other medical conditions by 5 p.m. (local time) on the day before a game. “Rest” is considered an acceptable reason for sitting a player, but it has to be reported; the league’s warning to Indiana was more about Clark’s injury not being listed than about the reason.In a postgame news conference, White said that players who don’t practice aren’t always added to the injury report. She also reiterated that Clark’s back was “sore” and that she didn’t expect the injury to be long-term.
