Caitlin Clark‘s Injury Status Remains Key as Indiana Fever Prepare for Sky, Playoff Push
INDIANAPOLIS – Teh Indiana Fever will face the Chicago Sky Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET on Ion, with Caitlin Clark’s status remaining a central focus as the team navigates a crucial stretch of games in their playoff pursuit.
