Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark Ruled Out vs. Los Angeles Sparks
- Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark will miss Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Sparks, head coach Stephanie White announced Friday due to a back injury.
- Clark has dealt with lingering back issues since the season-opener against the Wings, forcing her to miss a May 20 matchup against the Portland Fire and requiring frequent locker room adjustments.
- During Wednesday's 111-109 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, Clark exited in the third quarter after aggravating her back following a physical play involving Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas, who was later suspended with a Flagrant-2 foul.
- Veteran guard Tyasha Harris will start in Clark's place, as White emphasized that " long-term health and wellness" is the priority during the team's upcoming week-long break.
- Indiana does not play again until July 5 when visiting the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, giving the 10-8 Fever time to recover during the Commissioner's Cup break.
