Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters on Friday morning that Clark had been ruled out of the Fever's Saturday evening clash against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Fever's day-before injury report reflects that news as Clark is listed out (back).

Coach White said there's no timetable for Clark to return.

"She's OK. She's gonna be out on Saturday, but she's doing alright," White said.

"No indication (of how long she'll be out). Obviously, it's a good time because we have all week next week. So, we'll take this opportunity just to get her treatment, get her healthy, get her back on the floor and see what happens. It's the same thing. Long-term health and wellness is the most important thing."

Looking at the Fever's upcoming schedule, Clark could miss just the one game and be back for the Fever's Sunday, July 5 date at the Las Vegas Aces.

For now, it's the second game that Clark will miss due to injury, joining a May 20 contest against the Portland Fire where Clark was also sidelined with a back injury.
