Caitlin Clark To Play Against Aces but on Minutes Restriction
12 Jul
Summary
- Clark will play against the Aces with a 20-25 minute restriction.
- She previously played under similar restrictions against the Sparks.
- Clark's health is prioritized due to a history of injuries.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is slated to return to action against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. Coach Stephanie White confirmed Clark will be limited to 20-25 minutes on the court. This marks a continuation of a strategy implemented during her previous outing against the Los Angeles Sparks, where she played under a minute restriction.
Clark has been dealing with back discomfort throughout the season, which was aggravated during a game on June 24. The Fever are taking a careful approach to her recovery, mindful of her injury history, including a rookie season limited by multiple ailments. Despite the ongoing restrictions, Clark expressed optimism about her condition, noting her endurance levels are strong and she feels well during workouts.
The Aces, meanwhile, are expected to have their own star, A'ja Wilson, back in the lineup. Wilson, who sat out their previous matchup against the Fever, has been in strong form, demonstrating her readiness with a dominant performance against the Portland Fire.
