Overview
- The Indiana Fever play the Los Angeles Sparks Wednesday, July 8 at 10 p.m. ET at crypto.com Arena with national broadcast on USA Network and select feeds on CNBC.
- Clark told reporters she is optimistic about playing but expects a minutes restriction because of a lingering back injury sustained on June 24.
- Indiana has shown it can win without Clark, with Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston carrying the offense in recent wins and easing the need to rush her return.
- Los Angeles remains shorthanded without Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink, leaving Dearica Hamby and Nneka Ogwumike to shoulder the Sparks' scoring load.
- Data site Dimers currently projects a roughly 76% chance the Fever win and a simulated 91-84 score, a view that fuels betting markets but could change with late injury or minutes updates.
