Despite Clark’s absence, however, the Fever were still able to secure a crucial win against the Las Vegas Aces, 80-70, on Thursday night. Sophie Cunningham got the start again with Clark sidelined, and the veteran guard responded with another strong showing, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds and three triples in 33 minutes of action.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark still has no time table to return, the team said Thursday following further medical tests this week.

Meanwhile, Rookie of the Year favorite Paige Bueckers could end the season with the best first-year performance of all three of these young stars if she keeps it up.
