The incident came early in the second quarter, when Miles drove towards the basket after passing Indiana’s defence. Replay footage appeared to show her leg extending as Clark moved to contest the shot. No foul was called. Miles scored 25 points, including three three-pointers from six attempts, and added several assists in a strong performance. Some fans accused her of deliberately trying to injure Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, but Miles has not responded publicly. Asked about Clark by ESPN reporter Holly Rowe, Miles instead praised Mitchell. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever, Minnesota Lynx, Olivia Miles, WNBA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/olivia-miles-faces-backlash-after-caitlin-clark-collision-in-wnba-game/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
