Summary

  • Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Sparks will go ahead without Caitlin Clark after Fever coach Stephanie White ruled her out and said there is no indication yet how long she will be sidelined.
  • Wednesday's 111-109 loss to Phoenix triggered the latest absence: Clark exited in the third quarter with a back injury after going down on a second-quarter drive.
  • July 5 is Indiana's next game after Saturday, giving Clark roughly a week for treatment as the Fever try to manage another interruption to her season.
  • 21.2 points and 8.2 assists a game underline Clark's importance to a Fever team that is 10-8 and already dealing with another injury absence after she was limited to 13 games last season.
