The Indiana Fever received a warning from the league regarding a violation of injury report protocols. The league confirmed the disciplinary action to ESPN on Thursday. The warning stems from an incident involving star player Caitlin Clark, who was not initially listed on the team's injury report prior to a scheduled game.
The specific issue occurred before the Fever's Wednesday game against the Portland Fire. Despite not being initially listed, Clark was ruled a late scratch shortly before tip-off. The team cited back soreness as the reason for her removal from the lineup.
