Overview

  • Clark took part in a full 5-on-5 scrimmage on Monday, her first live practice since suffering a left groin injury on June 26.
  • Barring any setbacks in the next 24 hours, she is expected to suit up Wednesday when Indiana hosts Golden State at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
  • Head coach Stephanie White has indicated a potential minutes restriction to manage Clark’s workload and protect her recovery.
  • Clark has missed 10 games this season—five with a quadriceps strain and five with her current groin issue—yet leads the WNBA in assists and averages 18.2 points per game.
  • The Fever went 3-2 during her latest absence, including a Commissioner's Cup victory over the Minnesota Lynx, demonstrating the roster’s resilience and depth.
