Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham made their much-anticipated returns on Saturday, helping the Indiana Fever secure a dominant 102-88 victory over the New York Liberty. Clark was back in action after recovering from a left quad strain, while Cunningham had been sidelined for several games due to a re-aggravated right ankle injury.

After the game, Clark took a lighthearted jab at her teammate on Instagram. She posted a photo of Cunningham lying on the floor, likely catching her breath, while Clark pushed the ball up the court and launched a 3-pointer.

"Bro u good?," Clark wrote while playfully checking on her teammate.

Both Fever guards wasted no time shaking off the rust, instantly finding their rhythm and lighting it up from beyond the arc. Clark and Cunningham put on a show in their return, with Clark delivering a spectacular all-around performance and Cunningham injecting valuable energy off the bench.

Clark shot a blistering 7-of-14 from three and racked up 32 points, coming just one assist shy of a double-double and narrowly missing a triple-double by two rebounds and one assist. Cunningham, meanwhile, chipped in with five points and four rebounds, including a timely 3-pointer of her own.
