Overview

• Clark took part in her first full 5-on-5 practice since late June and is expected to play Wednesday against the Golden State Valkyries barring any setbacks.
• The Fever plan to limit Clark’s minutes to the upper 20s under a structured return-to-play protocol agreed upon by the coaching and medical staff.
• Indiana went 3-2 without Clark, highlighted by a Commissioner’s Cup victory, with Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell sustaining the team’s offense.
• Both the Fever and the Valkyries enter the contest at 9-9, making the midseason matchup a key factor in each team’s push for postseason positioning.
• Clark has missed 10 of 18 games this season with a quadriceps strain and a groin injury, leading to a cautious reintegration into the lineup.
