Summary
Clark was ruled out before the fourth quarter Wednesday after leaving Indiana's game with just over five minutes left in the third because of a back issue.
The setback appeared to follow a second-quarter foul on a drive, after which Clark fell hard; no foul was called on the sequence, and she later went to the locker room after also drawing a technical.
Phoenix erased Indiana's edge after Clark exited and escaped with a 111-109 win — only the Mercury's sixth victory this season.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 30 points for the Fever, while Kahleah Copper's 28 points led Phoenix in the comeback.
The back problem is not new for Clark, who has appeared on Indiana's injury report multiple times this season, with the Fever next hosting the Sparks on Saturday.
