As the Indiana Fever (1-1) open their four-game homestand at Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight against the Washington Mystics (1-1), the team revealed its injury report for the matchup.
The Fever are fresh off a one-game West Coast trip that saw the team pick up its first win of the season via an 87-78 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night, which was powered by Caitlin Clark’s 24-point effort on 9-for-17 shooting and 5-for-5 from the free-throw line.
According to the team’s injury report, the Fever do not have players listed as inactive or limited for the second consecutive game.
While there are no players listed on the report, that does not necessarily rule out the possibility of minute restrictions, as has been the case with guard Lexie Hull’s deployment as she eases back into her full-time workload.
Although Clark has not appeared on any of the Fever’s three injury reports so far, the former Hawkeye did speak before Wednesday’s win over the Sparks about her recent in-game treatments, which have caused some concern among fans who fear she could be dealing with another ailment.
“That moment where my back tightened up, I think I almost got confidence from that because I came back in and I played eight more minutes, so I felt great,” Clark said about her May 9 in-game treatments. “It’s something I can take confidence from. But it’s going to take me a little bit to really get over the mental hurdle of trusting my body.”
“I think the hardest part of injury is something I’m still really battling and almost struggling with is just the mental hump of getting over everything.”
The Fever and the Mystics will tip off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse at 6:30 p.m. CT, with the game being nationally broadcast on ION.
