Fever's Clark Injury Status Draws WNBA Rules Scrutiny
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark missed Wednesday's game against the Portland Fire due to a back issue, with the team delaying a formal injury designation until 5:20 p.m. ET—the day before a game—potentially violating WNBA rules requiring a specific injury status by 5 p.m. local time. Fever coach Stephanie White said Clark is healthy and not being managed, just resting the back issue. Indiana won 90-73, led by Aliyah Boston, and Clark will next be eligible to play Friday against the Golden State Valkyries.
