Caitlin Clark out vs. Sun, 13th consecutive missed game due to groin injury

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will not play in Sunday afternoon’s road game against the Connecticut Sun. Clark has now missed 13 straight games due to a right groin injury.

Fever head coach Stephanie White provided an update on Clark’s injury earlier this week.

“She’s been able to get a little bit more in her full court running with all of her body weight,” White said. “It’s really building up from doing minimal to then building some endurance to do longer periods of time. She’s been able to do a little bit more on the court in terms of how she moves, but not into practice yet.”

Clark injured her right groin in the fourth quarter of the Fever’s win against the Connecticut Sun on July 15.

Sunday will be the 22nd regular season game that Clark will miss this season. She also missed the Fever’s win in the Commissioner’s Cup championship game, as well as the All-Star Game and Three-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.

Clark has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game in 13 games played this season.

Clark has also dealt with a left quad injury and a left groin injury this season.

The Fever are 8-5 with Clark this season and 10-11 without Clark in regular season games. The Fever also beat the Minnesota Lynx without Clark to win the Commissioner’s Cup.

The Fever (18-16) are 7th in the WNBA standings.

Indiana tips off against the Sun at the Mohegan Sun at 1 p.m. Eastern.
