What happened: Caitlin Clark draws Washington on Sept. 22 with Indiana already into the 2026 playoffs.

Why it matters: Indiana had listed Clark as probable with a back issue before its prior Minnesota date. Context includes Clark's 31-foot game-winner to edge the Mystics 78-76 on June 9.

What to watch: Watch for the final box score and Indiana's next playoff date to set Clark's workload.
