In an interview before the win over the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, White said that the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft took part in the walkthrough for the Storm game.

However, she wanted to see how Clark's groin would endure live practice sessions before allowing her to play in the remaining games of the regular season.

"I want to see her continue to work to not just build endurance," White said (per Hawkeyes Wire). "But to be able to handle contact 94 feet as it's going to be in-game, and to be able to do that and sustain from an endurance standpoint."

Before the injury, Clark had only played 13 games this season and averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. She has slumped to 36.7% shooting from the field, including 27.9% from the free-throw line.

Despite her absence, Indiana is in third in the Eastern Conference standings with a 20-18 record, 3 1/2 games back of second-placed New York (24-15) and four games behind first-place Atlanta (24-14).
