The Indiana Fever will face the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday.

Alyssa Thomas, who was involved in the play leading to Clark's injury, received a one-game suspension. The Fever are focused on Clark’s long-term health as they look to bounce back from a 111-109 loss to the Mercury on Wednesday night.
