— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) June 26, 2026In coach Stephanie White's media availability during Friday morning's team practice, she stated Clark is doing fine before declaring her out. White said the team does not know how long Clark will be sidelined, but noted the team's eight-day break following Saturday's game will allow the two-time WNBA All-Star to receive proper treatment.

>"She's OK. She's gonna be out on Saturday, but she's doing alright," White said.

>"No indication. Obviously, it's a good time because we have a week all week next week, so we'll take this opportunity just to get her treatment, get her healthy, get her back on the floor, and see what happens. ... Long-term health and wellness is the most important."
