“We’ll see (about playing against the Dream),” Clark explained to reporters on June 5. “I think we’re trying not to put, like, an exact date out there, because it is kind of a day by day thing and see how I feel. And, you know, this type of injury, like, you don’t know when I wake up (if) I’ll feel different than the day before and we’ll see.
“It could be a possibility, but I could also not be available for that game, too.”
