The hopes aпd dreams of the WNBA were almost dashed after Caitliп Clark weпt dowп with a coпcerпiпg iпjυry.

While the Indiana Fever were taking on the Atlanta Dream on the road, a play in the second quarter had fans holding their breath.

In the second quarter, Clark was trying to stay on her defense assignment when she suddenly twisted her ankle in a terrible way, which immediately sent her down to the ground in obvious pain. She immediately grabbed her left ankle and had a look on her face like she thought something was terribly wrong as she lay down on the court. She would stay on the court for several minutes before teammates, and some of the coaching staff helped her up.

Caitlin Clark let everyone know she could walk on her own as she made her way to the sidelines. Clark likely had her ankles taped, and after missing a few plays, she would eventually return to the game in the same quarter. Things could’ve been a lot worse, but she appeared to escape injury. That ankle will surely be put in an ice bath for several hours.
