Overview

  • Clark announced on social media that she will not return this year after injuring her right groin on July 15 and later sustaining a bone bruise during rehab.
  • Coach Stephanie White said a recent West Coast trip served as a final evaluation and that the team ran out of time to ramp her to safe, full-contact play.
  • The Fever are 21-20 and currently hold the final playoff spot as Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston lead the stretch run.
  • Indiana’s depth has been hit hard with season-ending injuries to Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and hardship signee Chloe Bibby.
  • Clark appeared in 13 games, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds, while limited to non-contact work in recent weeks as the franchise faced scrutiny over injury updates from a team insider.
