Caitlin Clark's availability for the Indiana Fever's next game has improved, with the team listing her as probable for their matchup against the Golden State Valkyries on Friday.
The 24-year-old star player was unexpectedly ruled out of the Fever's Wednesday game against the Portland Fire due to back issues, but a positive update has emerged from Fever camp.
According to reporter Scott Agnes, the Fever have added Clark to their list of probable players for Friday's game, which is the final match of a four-game homestand.
Clark missed Wednesday's game despite being absent from the team's injury report released a day earlier, and head coach Stephanie White explained that the decision to rule her out was not finalized until around 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
The Fever managed a comfortable victory over the Portland Fire, with Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell taking the charge in Clark's absence.
Clark has been managing back discomfort since the start of the season and has used heat therapy pads and in-game adjustments to manage the issue.
With the Fever listing Clark as probable for the matchup against the Golden State Valkyries, fans will be hopeful of seeing the No. 22 back on the court, which would provide a major boost to the roster.
