Overview
- Indiana coach Stephanie White confirmed Saturday that Clark will play Sunday in Las Vegas on a 20–25 minute restriction.
- The Fever abandoned the prior three-minute burst pattern and plan longer on-court stretches so Clark can find a rhythm on offense.
- Clark practiced with the team in Las Vegas on Saturday and the timing of her minutes will be decided collaboratively by Clark, coaching staff and trainers.
- The Aces enter the matchup riding momentum after a 106–58 rout of Phoenix that featured A'ja Wilson's 21 points and Justine Pissott's 19-point WNBA debut after Las Vegas signed her from Indiana's development pool.
- Indiana is taking a cautious approach because Clark missed much of last season with injuries, and the restricted plan is meant to protect her long-term health and preserve her availability down the stretch.
