What happened: The WNBA has issued a warning to the Indiana Fever for failing to include Caitlin Clark on a league injury report, according to ESPN. The notice flags a compliance lapse in how the team disclosed Clark's status under league reporting rules.

Why it matters: Injury-report accuracy matters to the league office, broadcasters, and the, all of which rely on timely, correct availability data. A formal warning signals the WNBA is enforcing disclosure standards more tightly as Clark drives unprecedented attention to the Fever and the league.

What to watch: Watch for the Fever's next official injury report to confirm Clark's listed status and whether the league escalates beyond a warning to a fine.
