Status Update for tonight's game vs. Seattle: Caitlin Clark - Available (back) Aliyah Boston - Out (right lower leg) Via @IndianaFever on X

What happened: Clark had carried a probable designation with a back issue, while Boston was questionable with a right lower-leg issue. Friday's update finalized their availability before the game against Seattle.

Why it matters: Boston's absence removes a frontcourt starter from the lineup. Clark's clearance preserves a primary backcourt option for a team that entered Friday 14-10.

By the numbers: Indiana entered Friday 14-10, while Seattle was 6-20. Clark recorded 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in an 89-78 win over Seattle on May 17, when Boston also sat.

What to watch: Watch for Boston's next injury designation and Clark's workload against Seattle.
