Caitlin Clark's record-setting month impacted by back injury

Summary

Caitlin Clark has set a new WNBA record by averaging 20 points and eight assists over a month. This achievement comes during a tumultuous June where Clark averaged 21.9 points and 8.2 assists across ten games. However, her performance is currently overshadowed by a back injury that has sidelined her indefinitely after her third-quarter exit during a game against the Mercury. Clark's coach stated she was unavailable for a subsequent match against the Sparks due to this recurring issue, limiting her to individual workouts for recovery.
