Caitlin Clark Listed Probable for Fever-Valkyries Game as Back Issue Flares Again
7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 28
Thursday’s Indiana-Golden State rematch is expected to include Caitlin Clark, who was listed probable about 24 hours before tipoff while managing an early-season back issue.
The designation follows a May 20 late scratch against Portland — Clark’s first missed game of 2026 — though Indiana still won 90-73 without her.
Her availability mattered less in the previous Valkyries meeting, when she returned to the starting lineup and scored a team-high 22 points in a Fever win.
The health watch comes after injuries derailed much of Clark’s 2025 season, limiting the 2024 Rookie of the Year to 13 appearances with a groin strain and ankle-bone bruise.
Can the Fever's plan to protect their star work when her own competitive fire burns so intensely on court?
Are Caitlin Clark's recurring injuries a warning sign, or just the growing pains of a WNBA superstar?
