Overview
- The Indiana Fever announced Friday that Clark will not play on Sunday in Las Vegas after aggravating a lingering back issue she first left the June 24 game with.
- Clark practiced Friday and said she feels better and is hopeful to play in one of the July 8–9 back‑to‑back games, but the team is taking her recovery day‑to‑day.
- This is the second straight game Clark has missed for the same back problem and follows a 2025 season in which she played just 13 games because of multiple injuries.
- The Las Vegas Aces also list star A'ja Wilson as day‑to‑day after an ankle roll, leaving the marquee Sunday matchup possibly without one or both franchise players.
- Clark’s absence reshuffles Indiana’s on‑court rotations short term and raises durability and workload questions that could shape the Fever’s approach for the rest of the road trip and season.
