Is Caitlin Clark playing today? Fever at Sun playoffs Game 2 injury updates

The Indiana Fever were dominated by the Connecticut Sun in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. A smart adjustment played a key role in throwing Caitlin Clark off her game, and her team never recovered. The Fever face all the pressure in Game 2 with the season on the line.

Clark suffered an eye injury on Sunday afternoon when DiJonai Carrington hit her after attempting to block her shot. Both players denied it was intentional, and Clark refused to say it impacted her performance. There was clear bruising as the contest wore on, which left supporters wondering if it will make any difference in Game 2.

Here is a look at the injury report and what Clark had to say about the injury on Tuesday.

The Fever have a clean injury report heading into Wednesday’s contest. Head coach Christie Sides will have her full complement of options to use.

The Sun ruled out Tiffany Mitchell with an illness. She did not play in Game 1. Ty Harris is questionable with an ankle injury. She injured it contesting a jumper in the first quarter on Sunday afternoon. Harris was seen in a boot on the bench and should be considered closer to doubtful for Game 2.

Fever at Sun Game 2 preview

It is win or go home for the Fever on Wednesday night. The first round of the WNBA playoffs is a best-of-3 series. Fans saw the Aces and Liberty advance to the semifinals on Tuesday. No road team has won in this year’s playoffs, but Caitlin Clark hopes to change that.

Indiana must adjust and it starts with an obvious move. Beyond shaking up their rotations, they must find ways to get Clark going. She has struggled against the Sun this season, but the rookie needs to get her jumper to fall. Clark’s shooting unlocks her playmaking and could have the Fever pulling the upset on Wednesday evening.

The Sun are favorites but do not count out Clark. She rose to the moment several times during her college career, including leading Iowa to back-to-back NCAA Finals. It will take a legendary performance from the rookie to keep the Fever’s alive. Do not rule it out, and tune in to enjoy the show.
