NEW YORK -- Caitlin Clark had just one basket and three points in the worst game of her young pro career, and the New York Liberty routed the Indiana Fever 104-68 in front of 17,401 fans Sunday night.

Clark shot 1 for 10 from the field. It was the lowest point total and field goal percentage (10) in a game in both her WNBA (11 games) and college (139 games at Iowa) career.

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton scored 20 points and Jonquel Jones added 18 for the Liberty, who were nearing the end of the easy win when Clark left the game and Aliyah Boston departed a few minutes later after an awkward fall.

Clark, the No. 1 pick in the draft, played the first few minutes of the fourth quarter before exiting, holding her ear for a little bit as she left the court.

The Fever had another scary moment a few minutes later when Boston went down awkwardly after she was fouled. She gingerly walked off the court and back to the locker room.

Each player was being evaluated postgame, and Fever coach Christie Sides said she didn't have an update on either.

Indiana was playing the second game of a back-to-back set. The Fever (2-9) beat Chicago on Saturday by one point.

The Fever have had a brutal stretch to the start the season with 11 games in the first 20 days, including playing New York three times now.

The Liberty took advantage of the tired Fever, racing out to a 31-13 lead after one quarter. Laney-Hamilton and Breanna Stewart each had seven points in the opening 10 minutes as New York pushed the pace.

Clark was scoreless in the first quarter before starting off the second period with a logo 3-pointer. She was constantly hounded defensively by Laney-Hamilton and Kayla Thornton.

Clark did finish with five assists and has now led/co-led the Fever in assists in all 11 games this season, extending the second-longest streak to start a career in WNBA history (Ticha Penicheiro, 26).

New York led 55-37 at the break. Indiana got within 12 early in the third quarter before the Liberty blew open the game.

Kelsey Mitchell scored 21 points to lead Indiana.
