Caitlin Clark Starts as Johnson Out for Fever
23 Jul
Summary
- Raven Johnson sustained a lower body injury during warmups.
- Caitlin Clark, initially probable, is available and starting.
- Damiris Dantas is still sidelined with left knee soreness.
Raven Johnson has been ruled out of Wednesday night's game against the Connecticut Sun after experiencing a lower body injury during pre-game warmups. The Indiana Fever announced the decision approximately 30 minutes before tip-off.
In contrast, Caitlin Clark, who was previously listed as probable for the game, is available and will be in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Damiris Dantas continues to be sidelined as she recovers from left knee soreness. Johnson's recent playing time has been minimal, averaging 3.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists this season.
Johnson, a rookie, has been inconsistent in her playing time this season. Initially a key player off the bench, her role diminished as Tyasha Harris returned to full strength after her own season-ending knee injury from the previous year. Johnson's recent appearances have seen her play only a few minutes per game.
