Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Misses Seventh Consecutive Game With Groin Injury

Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark has missed seven consecutive games due to a right groin injury sustained in mid-July, marking her third lower-body injury this season. Despite missing games, Clark continues to travel with the team and even practiced before a recent game, but the team remains cautious with her recovery, with no definite timeline for her return. Head coach Stephanie White emphasized the importance of ensuring Clark is fully ready before returning, taking her rehab one step and one day at a time to avoid setbacks. The Fever have thrived in Clark's absence, currently riding a four-game winning streak and sitting four games above .500 for the first time since 2015. Clark's absence has resulted in a mixed record of 8-7 without her, compared to 8-5 with her on the court. The team continues to face challenges as they prepare for upcoming games, including a recent matchup against the Seattle Storm.
