Clark Cleared for Sunday Return Against Aces
Caitlin Clark is expected to return to the Indiana Fever lineup for Sunday’s road game against the Las Vegas Aces. After missing three of the team’s last four contests, the guard’s availability was confirmed Saturday by head coach Stephanie White.
The return comes with a caveat: Clark will be subject to a minutes restriction, capped at 20 to 25 minutes. It is a measured approach for the Fever, who currently hold a 13–9 record.
Shifting Gears on Rotation Strategy
The Fever are moving away from the experimental rotation used during Clark’s brief appearance against the Los Angeles Sparks this past Wednesday. During that contest, the team employed a “three-minute burst” strategy to manage her return.
Coach Stephanie White confirmed that the specific rotation will not be utilized against the Aces. Instead, the coaching staff is prioritizing a more standard, albeit limited, workload as the team concludes a taxing four-game road trip.
