What happened: Caitlin Clark carries a probable designation because of a back issue. Damiris Dantas will miss the matchup against Connecticut with a left knee issue.
Why it matters: A playoff berth is already secured, shifting the immediate focus to lineup continuity. Clark remains eligible to play pending the final availability update.
By the numbers: Clark has carried a probable back designation in at least four Wire Report status updates since July 12. Dantas has been ruled out in at least three since July 21.
What to watch: Watch for Clark's final designation before Friday's game and Dantas' status for the following contest.
