Tonight’s matchup at American Airlines Center is shaping up to be a blockbuster as the sold‑out Dallas Wings host the Indiana Fever for “A Night in Dallas,” billed as the first-ever professional faceoff between No. 1 draft picks Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark.
The buzz, however, centers on Clark’s availability - she remains day-to-day with a left groin injury after being ruled out of Thursday’s game against the Sparks, leaving her status uncertain for tonight’s tip-off.
Fever coach Stephanie White emphasized patience: “It’s very much a day-to-day thing, how she responds to treatment.”
Wings head coach Chris Koclanes acknowledged that Clark’s injured status could shift game tactics.
Whether Clark plays or not, expect Bueckers to take center stage with a packed crowd behind her.
Game details:
Time: 6:30 p.m. CT
Channel: National broadcast on ION
Venue: American Airlines Center, Downtown Dallas - capacity ~20,000
