Overview

  • Coach Stephanie White confirmed that Clark has only resumed full-court running after re-aggravating her groin and remains weeks away from practice.
  • Season-ending injuries to Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald forced Indiana to sign veterans Odyssey Sims and Kyra Lambert on short-term hardship deals.
  • The Fever’s thin backcourt contributed to costly turnovers and defensive lapses in a one-point loss to the Dallas Wings that dropped them to the sixth seed.
  • Kelsey Mitchell and other veterans have absorbed expanded playmaking duties as the team fights to secure home-court advantage in the playoffs.
  • Beat reporter Scott Agness and analyst Rachel DeMita have speculated that Clark could miss several more weeks or the remainder of the regular season.
