The Indiana Fever will be missing Caitlin Clark for her fourth consecutive game when they take on the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday. Clark, who was initially questionable earlier this week, will be sidelined due to a left groin injury. Previously, she also had a left quad strain that kept her out of action for five games. This injury streak is a departure from her college days, where she never missed a game due to injury.
Head coach Stephanie White has shared that Clark is currently engaging in non-contact drills in practice to recover and make a comeback. In her absence, Aari McDonald is expected to continue starting for the Fever. Clark’s season averages include 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and five rebounds per game.
The timeline for Clark’s return remains uncertain. Below is the Indiana Fever’s WNBA regular season schedule for July:
