Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark told media on Tuesday that she’s hopeful for a return to the court tonight against the LA Sparks, after missing the team’s last two games with a lingering back injury.
Clark anticipates being on a minutes restriction, as the Fever prepare for a midweek back-to-back. They have another game against the Phoenix Mercury slated for Thursday.
“Feeling great, everything’s been good up until this point,” Clark said. “Hopefully have another great day of practice and be ready for tomorrow.”
While they’ll be happy to see their star return, Indiana have held their own in Clark’s short absence. The Fever defeated both the Sparks and the Aces last week to rise to fifth in the WNBA standings.
Kelsey Mitchell leads the team in scoring with 21.9 points per game, followed closely by Clark’s 21.2 points per game, as Indiana leads the WNBA in points per game as a team.
“Sometimes it’s hard when you don’t get to play the game, and takes some mental resiliency,” said Clark. “Just pouring into my teammates the best I can.”
