Caitlin Clark’s season ended in Las Vegas after the Indiana Fever lost 94-83 to the Las Vegas Aces in decisive Game 3, eliminating the Fever from the WNBA playoffs.
Fox News’ Outkick reported A’ja Wilson led the Aces with 36 points, including 21 by halftime, while Clark finished with 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting.
Outkick said Clark was struck in the face by an elbow from Jewell Loyd with about 3:16 remaining in the fourth quarter, and returned to the court with a bleeding mouth after an on-court exchange with Fever head coach Stephanie White and game officials.
Across the three-game series, Outkick reported Clark averaged 20.0 points, 9.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds. The article also noted her third-year regular-season averages were 22.3 points, 8.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds.
Outkick reported the Fever finished the regular season 28-16 as the sixth seed. The article said guard Sophie Cunningham played 24 minutes in Game 3 and scored five points.
Outkick also covered fallout from Game 2, reporting Wilson received a technical foul after approaching a fan and that the WNBA did not suspend her; Aces coach Becky Hammon was quoted saying, “I stand 10 toes down with the character of A’ja Wilson.”
