Caitlin Clark left bloodied as Indiana Fever crash out of WNBA playoffs after tense clash with Las Vegas Aces
The Indiana Fever were dumped out of the WNBA playoffs after a tense clash with the Las Vegas Aces that saw Caitlin Clark elbowed in the face in a dramatic climax.
Clark was left bloodied after being struck in the mouth by the elbow of Jewell Loyd with barely three minutes left in Thursday night’s decider.
After briefly heading to the locker room, the Fever star returned to the court and showed her war wounds to the officials.
But Clark was unable to prevent her team from falling to a 94-83 defeat as A’ja Wilson and the defending champions progress to the semifinals.
Led by Wilson and head coach Becky Hammon, the Las Vegas Aces have triumphed in three of the past four WNBA seasons.
