Clark’s off-court move comes amid her absence from the Fever. She suffered a right groin injury during their showdown with the Connecticut Sun last week, which has now forced her to miss three straight regular season games, as well as the All-Star Game.

Heading into the season, Indiana recognized that it would take time for its pieces to jell. White headlined a largely new coaching staff, and only five players remained from last season, when the Fever went 20-20 and stormed into the playoffs after opening with eight losses in their first nine games.
