Clark has not played since injuring her right groin in the second-to-last game before the All-Star break.
Clark’s continued absence has now been complicated by the additional losses of point guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, who both play the same position as Clark.
Colson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the first quarter Thursday.
McDonald broke a bone in her right foot during the same game.
Tickets to the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse were nearly sold out before Clark was injured, but plenty of seats are available on the secondary market with tickets starting below $20 each.
The Atlanta Dream selected McDonald with the third pick in the 2021 WNBA draft. She was averaging 9.8 points, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals since emerging as a key part of the Fever early this season after being added to the roster when Clark was injured.
Colson was acquired as a free agent in February after spending the last three seasons with Las Vegas. She was averaging 2.4 points and 2.0 assists in 30 games with Indiana.
The Fever did not announce any corresponding moves to fill those two roster spots.
