LeBron James Hypes Caitlin Clark After Dominant Injury Return in Fever Win vs. Liberty

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark got some heavy praise in her return from injury.

Clark returned to the Fever lineup on Saturday after a five-game absence due to a quadriceps injury. She scored a team-high 32 points and led the Fever to a 102-88 victory over the previously undefeated New York Liberty.

Following the effort, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James tweeted out his support.

James praised the Caitlin Clark "effect" and said that she was missed in her absence.

Clark shot 11-of-20 and had seven rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in the effort. Indiana improved to 5-5 on the season and 3-1 within the Commissioner's Cup race with the victory.

She was averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and six rebounds in four games before suffering the injury. She will now look to increase those totals as she hopes to lead the Fever to new heights in 2025.

As she and the team push on, James' support shows that he will be admiring the effort she puts in every night.
