Clark was considered probable for the game, but her status was in question due to a back injury.
The Fever have also been limiting her minutes to give her more rest down the stretch of the season and help prolong her availability for a possible postseason run.
Indiana is 14-9 heading into Wednesday's matchup. Clark has played in 19 of the team's games this season. She is currently averaging 29.6 minutes per game, which is the fewest of her short WNBA career.
Clark is averaging 20.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.
This will be the third time that the Fever and Valkyries have matched up this season. They have split the season series so far, with Indiana winning the first game 90-82 and Golden State taking the second 90-88.
Against the Valkyries so far this season, Clark has combined for 38 points, 15 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 11 turnovers.
Fever head coach Stephanie White will have a decision to make about how many minutes to play Clark. While the guard averages nearly 30 minutes per game, she has played 24 and 16 minutes in her last two games.
Indiana has four games left until the All-Star break. While that will be a time for players to get rest, Clark was selected as an All-Star Game starter and will be playing in the game on July 25.
