Indiana Fever provide Caitlin Clark injury update ahead of game three Aces clash

Indiana Fever's star guard, Caitlin Clark, is listed as probable for Game 3 against the Las Vegas Aces, nursing a back issue. The Fever secured a 99-89 victory in Game 2, with Clark contributing 27 points, 15 assists, and seven rebounds. Indiana now needs one more win to advance, while Clark's back remains a critical concern, given the significance of the decisive matchup just days after her standout performance.

Clark is joined by Aliyah Boston, who is also probable with a right lower-leg injury. Ty Harris has been ruled out for the playoffs due to a left lower-leg injury. Damiris Dantas will miss the game after recently undergoing knee surgery that concluded her season. Since the first game, Clark has averaged 21 points, 12.5 assists, and five rebounds while shooting 42.9% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range.

Her latest performance was crucial after a challenging shooting night in Game 1. Kelsey Mitchell and Boston will continue to be vital alongside Clark as Indiana aims to maintain their attacking output. Both teams have each won one game in the series, with victories coming by double digits. Game 3 will now determine which side progresses, intensifying the pressure on Clark to remain healthy and contribute effectively on both ends of the court.
