Caitlin Clark Cleared to Play in Vegas With 20–25 Minute Limit

The Fever will use longer continuous stints to help Clark regain rhythm while protecting her availability for the rest of the season.

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.
