Indiana Fever set face one of their toughest matchups of the season against the Golden State Valkyries, there is still a question about guard Caitlin Clark.
The Indiana Fever will look for a third straight win when they take on the Golden State Valkyries at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday.
The Fever will have their hands full against the Valkyries, who have caught fire with a seven-game winning streak. Indiana is coming off back-to-back victories versus the Phoenix Mercury and the Las Vegas Aces to improve to 14-9. Golden State, meanwhile, is at 17-7.
A cause for concern for the Fever is the health of Caitlin Clark. She has been in and out of the lineup due to her back injury.
The Athletic's James Boyd reported that Clark was listed as probable against the Valkyries.
“This is the 15th time this season she’s been listed as probable due to her back. Curious to see if her minutes restriction will be lifted,” wrote Boyd on X.
The 24-year-old guard played 24 minutes versus the Aces, tallying 12 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. She sat out their game versus the Mercury.
Clark has downplayed the severity of her back injury, maintaining that she feels great.
Indiana coach Stephanie White stressed that they do not want to exacerbate it by pushing the three-time All-Star too hard. Hence, her minutes restriction in the past few games.
