Clark missed the game after injuring her right
groin on Tuesday night in the final minute of the game against
Connecticut in Boston. Clark has a busy weekend ahead as Indiana
is hosting the WNBA All-Star Game and she's slated to compete in
the 3-point contest and is captain of one of the two teams.
Sabrina Ionescu, who will also be in the 3-point contest, added
15 points and nine assists for the Liberty (15-6).
Stewart got the Liberty off to a strong start as they led 32-24
after one quarter and were up 15 at the half. The Liberty's
All-Star forward had 13 points, nine rebounds and five assists
by the break.
New York put the game away in the third quarter behind Stewart,
whose three-point play with 3:57 left made it 71-48 much to the
delight of the crowd of 17,371. The Fever could only get within
15 the rest of the way.
Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana (12-11) with 16 points. The Fever
fell to 4-6 when Clark has missed a regular season game this
season.
New York was still missing star center Jonquel Jones. She said
she plans to be back for the Liberty's first game after the
All-Star break on Tuesday which is also against Indiana. She's
been sidelined with a sprained ankle for about a month.
