If you saw Caitlin Clark Thursday night and thought she looked a little different in the second half of the Indiana Fever’s win, you’d be right.
Clark told reporters after the Fever’s 83-71 win over the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse that she threw up at halftime and spared none of the nauseating details.
“I haven’t vomited this much in a really long time,” Clark said, via ESPN . “But then I felt fine. I felt light. So I ran around and felt good in the second half, but [I] feel ok. Obviously, I’m losing my voice a little bit. But I’ll be fine.”

Clark worked through the illness and finished with 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. She also tied her own WNBA record in the process.
During the win, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 150 points and 50 assists in a season. She first accomplished the feat last season.

The win was necessary for the Fever. Head coach Stephanie White and Clark became the talk of the WNBA after a video of their heated sideline exchange went viral. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and put them back above .500, at 5-4.
Clark said this week everyone looked in the mirror and found ways to improve.

“A lot of people have called and asked me how I’m doing, and I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m great,'” Clark said. “I think a lot of self-reflection from everybody (this week), like looking at yourself in the mirror and finding ways to get better. That’s definitely what I did.”
Clark will look to overcome his illness as the Fever look to build on their positive momentum against the New York Liberty on Saturday at 7 p.m. 20 A.M.
