White said she wasn’t sure when the injury occurred but shared that she had been informed Clark was experiencing leg discomfort and would be getting an MRI post-game.
“We got a message that she had something going on with her leg, and they were getting an MRI, and then we got the word yesterday,” White said.
When asked if the team was prepared to adjust its rotations in Clark’s absence, White expressed confidence in the Fever’s depth.

“I think that’s the advantage of our depth,” she said. “Certently we’d rather have her [Clark] early than late. It’s a great opportunity for our team to find an identity. It’s a great opportunity for our team to play in a different way.”
White also reflected on how the time off could benefit Clark.
