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

Clark survived the illness, finishing with 17 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. She also tied her own WNBA record in the process.
In that victory, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to record 150 points and 50 assists in a season. She achieved this feat for the first time last season.

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

“A lot of people called me and asked me how I was, and I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m fine,'” Clark said. “I think everyone needs to do a lot of self-reflection (this week), like look in the mirror and find ways to improve. That’s definitely what I did.”
Clark will try to overcome his illness when the Fever look to continue their positive momentum against the New York Liberty on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
