In the build-up to the WNBA’s return after the Olympic Games, Caitlin Clark said she had been ready to get going again for a while. In Friday’s matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, the star rookie looked like she’d never been away as the 22-year-old lit up the game with another standout performance. Clark led the Indiana Fever to an important 98-89 win against the Mercury as the Fever began their push for a place in the playoffs. Contributing her 10th double-double of this season, Clark scored a team-high 29 points and added 10 assists and five rebounds in an all-round performance. “It was pretty fun. I think we came out with a lot of energy, it’s just continuing to find a way to sustain that,” Clark said to reporters postgame on returning to the court during the Fever’s hot start. Indiana led Phoenix 33-16 after the first quarter, during which time Clark scored 13 points, and 54-37 at halftime.
