Yes. The Fever announced Clark will play in Indiana's matchup against the New York Liberty following a five-game absence due to a left quad injury.
Clark is sure she suffered the left quad strain during the Fever's loss to the Liberty on May 24 -- where she recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists -- but she can't pinpoint a specific play that caused her injury. She only knows that it happened early on in the contest.
"Obviously, adrenaline covers up a lot of stuff when you're in the heat of battle," Clark said on Thursday. "And after the game, I had some pain, and then we got an MRI, and that kind of gave me the result that I didn't want to see. But, you know, those types of things don't lie."
