The Indiana Fever and their star player Caitlin Clark are tired and beaten up after playing three games in five days.
Indiana is coming off a 109-102 loss to the New York Liberty on Saturday night. Clark finished the game with 21 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal in the loss.
There has been a lot of talk about Clark saying the team is tired entering the game and not at 100%. That may concern fans about whether Clark will be ready to play on Sunday against the Chicago Sky.

The Fever released the latest injury report just hours before they face the Sky. Clark was included on the report with a back injury. She is listed as “probable” and is healthy enough to play.
Indiana also has Myisha Hines-Allen and Aliyah Boston on the report. Boston was ruled out with a lower leg injury, while Hines-Allen is questionable with a right shoulder injury.
Fever backup center Damiris Dantas did not travel with the team due to her knee injury. Indiana announced that Dantas had knee surgery and is out for the rest of the season.

Clark needs to step up in a big way to help the Fever out. Losing Boston is a massive hit in the paint, but she had been a much-improved outside shooter for Indiana.
With Boston not in the lineup, Clark and Kelsey Mitchell become the focal points of the offense. They will need to step up and put up points early and often.
It’s a tough balance with the Fever playing in back-to-back days. They sit at 24-14 and have lost two straight. Indiana can’t afford any more losses.
Clark has been tough through this stretch and has helped the team even if she isn’t always scoring. Her passing and rebounding have helped the Fever stay in these games.
With Chicago getting more rest than the Fever, Indiana is playing at a disadvantage. The hope is that Clark can lead the team to a massive win as the World Cup break approaches.
