Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was once again ruled out of a WNBA game against the Dallas Wings on Friday night, but the guard's absence did not stop her from discussing her rivalry with Paige Bueckers.

Bueckers was able to rewrite WNBA history with her eye-catching performance against the Dream. Shortly after the final buzzer, the league took to social media to announce that the 23-year-old had surpassed Hall of Famer Sue Bird for the second-most games with at least 15 points and five assists by a rookie.

The Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream played a thrilling basketball game on Wednesday night, as Naz Hillmon hit a three in the final seconds to lift the Dream to an 88-85 win. The Wings erased an eight-point lead by the Dream, even taking a lead with about two minutes remaining, but the Dream emerged victorious.

The Indiana Fever have now won four straight games after defeating the Dallas Wings 88-78 on the road Friday evening.

Clark had to watch from the bench as she sat out for a sixth consecutive game with a re-aggravated groin injury. At this point, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has no timetable for her return as the Fever take a very cautious approach on the health of their cornerstone superstar.
