The Indiana Fever provided an injury update on guard Caitlin Clark's availability for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Valkyries after she successfully completed a five-on-five practice drill on Monday.
Clark has missed the Fever's last five games, bringing her total games missed this season to 10 due to two separate injury stints.
Fever head coach Stephanie White informed reporters that Clark will be available to play on Wednesday, barring any unexpected setbacks before the game.
While the Fever managed relatively well without Clark, their two losses to the Los Angeles Sparks during her absence exposed the team's minimal scoring depth.
With Clark expected to return, the Fever anticipate a much-improved offensive flow, as players Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell had to carry a heavy scoring burden in the past five games.
A key storyline for the upcoming game is how Clark and the Fever plan to counter the defensive pressure from Golden State, which effectively shut Clark down in their previous meeting on June 19th.
Wednesday's game between the Indiana Fever (9-9) and the Golden State Valkyries (9-9) is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT and will be broadcast on NBA TV.
