Overview

  • Clark aggravated her right groin late in Tuesday’s 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun and sat out Wednesday’s game against the New York Liberty.
  • She has missed 11 games this season with various lower-body injuries, raising questions about her long-term health in a 44-game regular-season schedule.
  • Indianapolis hosts its first WNBA All-Star weekend at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, an opportunity secured in part by Clark’s breakout rookie season.
  • Brittney Sykes was named to fill Clark’s All-Star Game roster spot and Lexie Hull will make her debut in Friday night’s 3-Point Contest.
  • Clark will remain on site to support coach Sandy Brondello from the sideline and participate in weekend fan events.
