Overview

  • Clark was ruled out for Friday’s game at Minnesota, marking her 14th straight absence and 23rd missed game this season.
  • Head coach Stephanie White said there is no update until Clark rejoins full team practice, calling her status “status quo.”
  • Reporting from the Indianapolis Star says Clark sustained a very mild bone bruise in her left ankle during an Aug. 7 workout in Phoenix, which sources say does not change her return plan.
  • Indiana’s backcourt depth has been gutted by season‑ending injuries to Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald and Sophie Cunningham, prompting short‑term additions such as Odyssey Sims and Shey Peddy.
  • The Fever are 19‑16 with nine regular‑season games remaining and remain cautious about setting a timetable beyond the hope she can play before the season ends.
