Clark told reporters on Saturday night that she
had been getting treatment during the festivities, which also
took place in Indianapolis.
She was injured in the final minute of Tuesday's victory at
Connecticut.
While she is improving, White said, the Fever intend to be
cautious with Clark, who missed 10 games during the first half
of the season with three different muscle injuries.
“She's going to see some doctors and get more tests early in the
week,” White said. “I don't expect her to be available on
Tuesday, so we're just going to take it one day at a time and
let her get evaluations early this week and then, once we've
done that, hopefully we'll have more of a clear vision of what
it looks like.”
Clark never missed a game because of injury during her college
career at Iowa or last season when she was selected the WNBA's
Rookie of the Year.
The two-time All-Star is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and
5.0 rebounds this season for a team that was expected to contend
for a league championship. But Clark's injuries and other
obstacles have kept the Fever hovering near the middle of the
standings with a 12-11 mark.
“These soft tissue injuries, sometimes nag until you can
actually have time to really allow to heal in the offseason,”
White said.
