There's still no timetable for when one of the
league's most popular players could return.
No return to practice, she's been able to get a little bit more
of her full-court running with all of her body weight, White
said following practice. It's really building up from doing
minimal to building some endurance to do longer periods of time.
She's been able to do a little more on the court in terms of how
she moves, but not into practice shape.
Clark began full-court running last week.
Three different muscle injuries have forced Clark to miss 19 of
32 games. Indiana is 10-9 without Clark including a 6-2 mark
over its last eight games despite losing two more guards,
Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, with season-ending injuries.
Colson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left
knee during last week's loss at Phoenix. McDonald will be out
with a broken bone in her right foot, which happened in the same
game.
Yet with only nine active players and no true point guards,
Indiana still managed to rout the rival Chicago Sky 92-70 on
Saturday.
The Fever signed Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract Sunday.
Sims averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 assists and 2.5 rebounds during
her 11-year career, which included an All-Star selection in
2019.
Clark, last season's WNBA Rookie of the Year, was averaging 16.5
points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds before her latest injury.
The Fever went all-in on putting a title-winning supporting cast
around Clark during the offseason. And even with Clark out,
Indiana is 18-14 and fifth in the league standings, close enough
to still be in the mix for home-court advantage in the first
round.
