Overview

  • Clark suffered a left quadriceps strain during Indiana’s 90-88 loss to New York on May 24, prompting a minimum two-week absence.
  • She is set to be re-evaluated on June 9, ruling her out of at least four games including matchups with the Mystics, Sun and Sky.
  • The Fever (2-2) have leaned on her team-leading averages of 19 points, 9.3 assists and 6 rebounds per game, raising questions about their offense without her.
  • Indiana plans a point-guard committee with Kelsey Mitchell, Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull sharing playmaking and scoring responsibilities.
  • This marks the first regular-season absence of Clark’s career after unbroken attendance through college and her rookie WNBA season.
