Overview

  • Caitlin Clark was cleared to start Thursday’s game at Chase Center after missing five games with a left quadriceps strain.
  • Indiana has won both contests since Clark’s return, during which she’s averaged 21.3 points, 8.7 assists and 40% shooting from three-point range.
  • Head coach Stephanie White will miss her second game of the season for personal reasons, with assistant coach Austin Kelly serving as acting head coach.
  • Former Iowa Hawkeyes teammates Clark and Golden State guard Kate Martin shared a lighthearted moment in warmups ahead of their WNBA showdown.
  • Valkyries’ frontcourt losses have thrust Monique Billings into the starting center role, and she’s prepared to log increased minutes against Clark’s sharpshooting attack.
