***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

[Franisdaman]

The thing is, those tickets were already sold. People paid money for those seats and when they heard CC wasn’t playing tonight they decided “Screw it, I’m not even going to bother fighting traffic.”

Maybe 10k in the seats?

They started with 3,264 UNSOLD tickets.

17,274: Capacity of Gainbridge Fieldhouse, for basketball games.

14,010: Announced Attendance (total tickets sold & distributed)

Scanned tickets (actual butts in the seats) was obviously a LOT less than 14,000.

Folks who were at the game estimated around 9,000 in attendance. The fans are getting it with the organization.

The men's college game is okay but the NBA has become non-watchable. All they do is dunk, play little or no defense, and chuck up 3's after which they celebrate for at least ten seconds.

I am concerned about CCs back injury. It would be sad if it curtails her career.

And if that wasn't enough, following Keegan's sensational rookie campaign, he fell victim to the "injury bug", and is still recovering from an ankle, following other injuries.

Yeah, finally get a Hawkeye star playing in the pros and then it's to good to be true and injuries curtail her career. I hope not.

Clark is listed as "probable" going into tomorrow's game. However, she is not listed as a starter by the Fever site.

What are the fever doing? Not listing Clark on the injury report when she misses practice the day before a game? Scratching her not even 2 hours before the game?

Emely Rodriguez all over again.

Why would you let an opponent know who is and isn’t playing if you don’t have to?

You do have to. WNBA requires teams to submit injury reports by 5 pm the day prior to their game. CC didn't practice the day before their game v. Portland. She should've been listed on that injury report instead of announced 90 minutes before tip. Bush league move by Indiana.

An Australian woman who sat next to Clark's family at the game vs the Fire stated that she overheard the trainer tell Clark's mom that she was not playing because of her back. Clark's family was unaware as well, according to her account.
