  Fever coach Christie Sides with a questionable challenge on a blocking foul by Katie Lou Samuelson, apparently arguing that Chicago’s Isabelle Harrison committed an offensive foul (or traveled). Indiana loses the challenge and has no more for the first half.

  Some confusion for the Fever on their final possession of the first quarter. Shot clock ran out as they tried to decide who would shoot.

  WNBA early award races: Alyssa Thomas, Caitlin Clark in line for some hardware

  Rookie of the Year

  Caitlin Clark, Fever

  Clark is having a standout start to her WNBA career despite facing the league’s best teams early and drawing their best defensive efforts. It’s still her award to lose, though Angel Reese (12.4 ppg, 9.6 rpg) and Cameron Brink (2.9 bpg) have also had strong starts. Kamilla Cardoso’s debut was delayed due to injury, but she could enter this conversation as well.

  Clark is averaging 15.6 points (ranking 17th all time for rookies) and is one of two rookies to average at least 10 points, four rebounds and four assists per game. Her six assists per game rank fourth in the league, and she’s tasked with more than any other rookie in this class as a lead ball-handler and the biggest name to enter the league in its history.

  Caitlin Clark responds to bigotry in WNBA audience: ‘People should not be using my name to push those agendas’

  As discourse around Indiana Fever rookie and women’s basketball phenom Caitlin Clark grows louder, some of the discussion has taken an uglier turn into racism and misogyny directed at the rest of the WNBA.

  On Thursday, Clark refuted that language, saying that she does not want her name used in that context.

  “Everybody in our world deserves the same amount of respect. The women in our league deserve the same amount of respect,” Clark said in response to a question from The Athletic’s James Boyd. “People should not be using my name to push those agendas.”

  I asked #IndianaFever’s Caitlin Clark directly about her name being weaponized for racism/misogyny (as Dijonai Carrington alluded to):
