Clark has been sidelined as May 26, missing five games. In her last appearance May 24 against the Liberty, she recorded 18 points and 10 assists in a narrow 90-88 defeat.

White noted Clark’s steady improvement in practice. “She’s working her way back,” White told reporters, adding that clark’s movement and rhythm were improving. She anticipates Clark will be ready if there is no setback.
Sophie Cunningham is also expected to return after an ankle injury that has kept her out of several games. “I think she’s going to be ready to roll as well,” White said, noting cunningham’s good timing and ability to change directions.
I felt like today was better than yesterday in terms of just movement, balance and feeling like she’s getting back into rhythm, timing, all those things. As long as we don’t have any regression,she’s going to be ready to roll.
