Clark Cleared for Fever Opener vs. Wings as Billings Remains Questionable

Indiana's injury report puts the frontcourt under the microscope for a national audience.

Overview

  • The Fever host the Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on ABC.
  • Caitlin Clark is available for her first regular-season game since July 2025, following Friday's status report that listed only Monique Billings as questionable and Justine Pissott as out.
  • Billings injured her ankle in the preseason vs. Nigeria and returned to limited practice, with team medical staff set to decide her clearance and any minutes cap.
  • If Billings cannot go, coach Stephanie White is expected to turn to Myisha Hines-Allen at power forward, with a smaller Lexie Hull option also prepared.
  • The matchup features the last four No. 1 overall picks and renews the Clark–Bueckers spotlight, after Dallas won a preseason meeting 95-80 on April 30.
