July 9 (UPI) -- WNBA star Caitlin Clark made just 4 of 12 shots and struggled in her first game in two weeks, an Indiana Fever loss to the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Fever guard, who missed two games because of back issues, played for about 16 minutes in the 106-92 setback Wednesday in Los Angeles. She scored nine points, made 1 of 6 attempts from 3-point range and totaled four turnovers, in addition to her four rebounds, three assists and a steal.

"It's really, really hard to get into a flow," Clark told reporters, according to the Indianapolis Star. "For the most part, I got good looks. Some of them went, some of them didn't.

"I didn't get to have a feel for the game as I usually do. But overall, my body feels great. So that's a positive you take from today. It stinks we didn't play very well as a team, but I feel really good. So we'll see how I feel [Thursday], too. But can definitely take a win there."
