Overview

  • Clark has been diagnosed with a left quadriceps strain and will miss at least two weeks of action, marking the first regular-season absence of her career.
  • The 23-year-old point guard is averaging 19.0 points and a league-leading 9.3 assists through four games, accounting for a significant portion of the Fever’s offense.
  • Indiana will be without Clark for four upcoming games—two against the Washington Mystics, one versus the Connecticut Sun and one at the Chicago Sky—before a possible June 10 return.
  • Coach Stephanie White plans to deploy a committee approach at point guard, turning to Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull to fill Clark’s minutes.
  • Clark’s injury has altered WNBA MVP betting odds in Napheesa Collier’s favor and underscored the Fever’s need to lean on their offseason additions.
