Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is ruled out of Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a recurring back injury, according to coach Stephanie White. White confirms Clark does not play after the injury worsened during Indiana’s Wednesday game against the Phoenix Mercury. Multiple reports say Clark exits that matchup with the back issue and cannot finish the game. Following Wednesday’s setback, her status for the next game remains uncertain. White is reported to say Clark is “OK,” but no specific return date or clear timeline is provided. A separate report also frames the question around whether Clark will be available for Saturday night, highlighting that the injury occurred during the earlier loss to Phoenix and that her availability is in doubt as the Fever prepares for the Sparks. Overall, the available information centers on the injury being recurring, its aggravation during the Mercury game, and Clark’s immediate absence from the Sparks matchup, with further updates expected as the situation develops.
