Caitlin Clark is back in the Indiana Fever lineup after missing time with a groin injury, but she is still working to find her groove.
After missing two weeks of action, Clark returned to the court on Wednesday, July 9 and scored 10 points in Indiana's loss to Golden State. The Fever bounced back with a win over the Dream on Friday, but Clark managed just 12 points and shot 29.4 percent from the field. Sunday afternoon, she looked to get back on track with the Wings in Indianapolis.
The matchup marked the first professional meeting between Clark and this year's No. 1 overall pick, Paige Bueckers. Clark still struggled with her efficiency, but she notched a double-double and also made her presence felt on the defensive end.

The jumper is still not back at the level that many have come to expect from Clark, but she showed another wrinkle in her game by getting some work done in the post, something she may continue to do moving forward.
"Beautiful midrange fadeaway." 😍
