Clark Hopeful of Returning for Fever Against Sparks but May Avoid Back-to-Back Against Storm

The Sparks seek to snap a three-game skid against an Indiana team averaging 97.7 points and 35.5 rebounds per game.

  • On Wednesday, the Indiana Fever visit the Los Angeles Sparks , with star guard Caitlin Clark aiming to return from a back injury after missing three games. Clark expects to play but anticipates a minutes restriction.
  • The Sparks are mired in a three-game losing streak, recently suffering an 82-64 home defeat to the Seattle Storm on Monday. Head coach Lynne Roberts navigates the roster without injured stars Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink.
  • Forward Alissa Pili is expected to make her season debut for Los Angeles to bolster the rotation. The Sparks are 0-2 against the Fever this season, including a 111-87 defeat on June 27.
  • If Clark competes Wednesday, the All-Star guard does not expect to play in Thursday's rematch against the Phoenix Mercury. Fever head coach Stephanie White remains cautious, awaiting final medical clearance before confirming her availability.
  • UConn coach Geno Auriemma recently addressed the controversy surrounding Clark on the Sports Media with Richard Deitsch podcast, arguing her supporters have stirred tensions. Auriemma claimed the intense focus created division regarding endorsements and league treatment.
