Overview

  • Clark announced on social media that she will not play again this year after a right groin injury on July 15, with a left-ankle bone bruise later sustained during rehab.
  • She appeared in 13 games this season, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds, and has missed 20 straight contests including the All-Star Game.
  • Fever GM Amber Cox said time was not on the team’s side for a safe reintegration, and coach Stephanie White required multiple full-contact practices that Clark did not complete.
  • Indiana remains in the playoff hunt at 21-20 with three regular-season games left, going 8-5 with Clark available and 13-15 without her.
  • The Fever backcourt has been ravaged by season-ending injuries to Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, Sydney Colson and Chloe Bibby, leading to hardship signings and lineup shuffles.
