What happened: The Indiana Fever guard said she needed the first 20 games to regain confidence in her body. She now plays without thinking about the injuries that disrupted last season.

Why it matters: Her availability stabilizes Indiana’s lead-guard rotation for the postseason. Last year’s injury-hit campaign limited her to 13 appearances.

By the numbers: Clark is averaging 22.5 points, 8.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds this season. She had 34 points and 12 assists Friday, her second straight 30-point, 10-assist game.

What to watch: Next comes Clark’s World Cup buildup during the break before Indiana resumes its playoff push.
