Caitlin Clark suffered from a migraine Sunday, but it was nothing to the headache she gave the Phoenix Mercury.
Clark led the Indiana Fever to an 88-82 victory over the Mercury, which has Olympians Diana Taurasi, Kahleah Copper, and Brittney Griner on its roster.
âItâs amazing what Caitlinâs been able to do in her short career so far,â Taurasi said, according to ESPN.
Clark finished with 15 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.
âThe one thing that I really love about her, she loves the game. You can tell sheâs put the work in. ⊠Itâs been a lot of pressure, a lot of things thrown at her, and she keeps showing up and keeps getting better every single game,â Taurasi said.
âSo her future is super bright, and being a veteran and being in this league for a long, long time, it is pretty cool to see that and go into the future,â she said.

âWe continue to tell each other, âWeâre good, stay here, pay attention to what we have to do,’â Boston said. âUse that as energy for us, not as a distraction, not worrying about if theyâre going to foul us hard or not. Every night itâs going to be a battle, so we have to be ready for it.â
âI think what [Clark is] doing for that team right now is pretty impressive,â Taurasi said.
Indiana is currently in the hunt for a spot in the WNBA playoffs, which it last made in 2016.
Indiana is 8-12 for the year after winning six of the teamâs last 10 games, according to
