As the Indiana Fever (0-1) prepare to take on the Los Angeles Sparks (0-1) at Crypto.com Arena, the team revealed its injury report for Wednesday’s game in Southern California.
No Fever players were listed on the injury report.
The biggest news is forward Monique Billings has been cleared to make her Fever debut, whether in the starting lineup or off the bench. Coming off an ankle injury that kept her out of the team’s first game, the former UCLA Bruin may be on a minutes restriction to ease her back into her workload.
In the Fever’s opener, Caitlin Clark recorded an impressive stat line of 20 points on 7-of-18 shooting, seven assists and five rebounds in 31 minutes against the Dallas Wings (1-1). However, there was concern Clark might be dealing with another injury.
The ABC broadcast reported Clark was getting work done on her hip flexor and groin area by the Fever training staff. Fever coach Stephanie White said after the game that any hip flexor or groin issue for Clark “would be the first time I’ve heard that.”
Both White and Clark said the Fever star left the court on multiple occasions to get her back adjusted. Clark didn’t seem concerned about it.
Wednesday’s game against the Sparks is scheduled to tip off at 9:30 p.m. CT and will be televised on USA Network.
