Overview

  • Clark will miss her 14th straight game on Friday against the Lynx, her 23rd absence of the season.
  • Head coach Stephanie White said there is no new timetable and confirmed Clark has not rejoined team practice.
  • Multiple reports say Clark sustained a very mild left ankle bone bruise during an Aug. 7 workout, which sources indicate does not change her groin-rehab timeline.
  • Indiana’s guard depth has thinned with season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Sophie Cunningham, prompting hardship signings such as Odyssey Sims and Shey Peddy.
  • The Fever are 19-16 and sixth in the standings; Clark has appeared in 13 games, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds.
