Besides Clark, Sophie Cunningham has also been dealing with a right ankle injury that caused her to miss each of the last two games, but she is closer to returning. The Fever are 3-4 on the season, as they got their first win without Clark against the Mystics earlier in the week.
In Clark’s absence, Kelsey Mitchell has stepped up by averaging 17.4 points per game this season, which includes 24 points in Indiana’s win over Washington on Tuesday, while Aaliyah Boston is averaging a career-high 15.9 points and 8.0 rebounds in seven games.
