Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss her fifth consecutive game due to a left groin injury on Saturday, July 5.
Clark is working her way back by participating in drills.
“We went through semi-live shooting drills, but she hasn’t gone full speed in a practice or a live defensive group,” Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters on Friday. “She’s been getting some 3-on-3 work on her own.”
White indicated she was expecting Clark to be reevaluated before the game, but the guard appeared on the injury report Friday evening and was listed as ‘out.’
“I prioritize her long-term health and wellness, and making sure when she comes back, she is 100%,” White said.
It will be the 10th game that Clark has missed this season, including the Fever’s 74-59 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup final on July 1. The Fever have remained competitive without Clark, winning the last three games that followed a loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on June 26. The Fever will host the Sparks on Saturday.
