Kate Rinklerk Her long-awaited return to the much-anticipated courthouse Wednesday afternoon, but Indiana Fever did not go well against the Golden State Valkyries.

Clark averaged 33.3 in his first nine games for 25 minutes. However, her time in court may have been reduced due to scores later in the game.
Golden State has entered the fourth quarter and owns a strong 64-51 lead, mostly in the 20-9 second quarter that created Indiana’s massive halftime deficit.
When the fever couldn’t get back into the game, Clark was still left to play in minutes and she never saw the court again.
Either way, it wasn’t the best game in the heat as Clark security guard Kelsey Mitchell went 13-3 off the field. And she wasn’t the only one to struggle as the fever shot just 30.9% (218) off the field as a team.

Valkyrie It wasn’t that good to go 70-26 from the floor, just 26, but Veronica Burton and All-Star Kayla Thornton won cash when it mattered most.
Burton led the game with 21 points, earning eight rebounds and handing out six assists. She was cash over the arc and hit all but one of her six three-point attempts.
Thornton didn’t have the best shooter game (15 vs. 4), but thanks to four 3-pointers and six free throws, we were able to notch at 18 points.
