Key Points:

- Coach White emphasized Clark's health and wellness as a priority and noted the weeklong break after Saturday's game will provide more time for treatment.
- Clark is currently averaging a career-high 21.2 points, 8.2 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game through 17 games this season after being limited to 13 games last year due to injuries.
- There is no clear indication yet if Clark will miss additional games beyond Saturday.
