Fever coach Stephanie White on Clark

Cunningham has been a steady contributor for Indiana this season, averaging 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in about 26 minutes per game. Her absence deepens questions about the Fever ahead of a stretch run as they chase a playoff spot, especially with Caitlin Clark sidelined by a groin injury. The team will lean on bench players and more minutes from veterans as they try to maintain momentum in a crowded Eastern Conference.

Highlights

  • There is really good talent in our league
  • We have a lot of badasses in our league
  • I am all for that
  • What a league full of great players

Fans will be watching closely how Indiana adapts in the weeks ahead
