Overview
- The Indiana Fever travel to play the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET with the game airing nationally on USA Network and CNBC.
- Clark told reporters she is optimistic she can play but said she expects a minutes restriction if activated after a back tweak that sidelined her late in June.
- Indiana has already won on the current four-game road swing without Clark, with Kelsey Mitchell averaging 21.9 points per game and Aliyah Boston posting 17.1 points and 8.6 rebounds after a recent double-double.
- The Sparks enter the game shorthanded and struggling offensively while Kelsey Plum recovers from a lower left leg injury that will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
- How the Fever manage Clark’s minutes could affect short-term standings and her durability going forward, and the nationally televised slot will be an early test of that plan.
