Caitlin Clark is expected to return from a brief absence for the Indiana Fever‘s game on Sunday, July 12, against the Las Vegas Aces.
The former Iowa star missed the second night of Indiana’s back-to-back, a 92–89 win over the Phoenix Mercury, on Thursday, July 9. She had just returned from a back injury in the Fever’s 106–92 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on July 8, and coach Stephanie White said beforehand she would sit out Thursday night.
Against the Sparks, Clark was on a minutes restriction, playing 16 minutes and finishing with 9 points on 4-of-12 shooting, along with 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
