Caitlin Clark struggled in her first-ever visit to Boston — a performance that didn’t seem to spoil the mood of the fans who filled TD Garden on Tuesday night for a rare WNBA game in the home of the Celtics and Bruins.

Caitlin Clark appeared to be in tears after she was forced to exit the Indiana Fever’s game on Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun. There was less than a minute remaining in the contest when the 23-year-old appeared to suffer a re-aggravation of the same groin injury that cost her two weeks on the sidelines in June and July.

Fans traveled across state lines to cheer on their respective teams, and expressed their desire for Boston to create its own WNBA team.
