Indiana Fever fans will have to wait a little longer to know when Caitlin Clark will be back on the court.
The franchise released an update on the 23-year-old’s injury status, which highlighted that there was no timetable for the guard’s return.
“Following a July 15 injury to her right groin, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week. The team can confirm that no additional injuries or damage were discovered through the evaluations,” the Indiana Fever said in a statement.
“Clark will continue working with the Fever medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being.
“There is no timetable available for Clark’s return, and no additional details will be provided at this time. Any further updates will be shared as they become available.”
Clark’s injury saw her miss last weekend’s WNBA All-Star game, a devastating blow as the event was being held in her team’s arena in Indianapolis.
The former Iowa University star admitted that her struggles with injuries have reminded her of the importance of taking care of her body.
“This is the first time I haven’t felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that,” Clark said.
“Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind — it’s been a journey learning about that.”
How many games has Caitlin Clark missed due to injury?
Clark has had three separate spells on the sidelines.
Her first injury was left quad strain which saw her miss three weeks, then a left groin issue sidelined her for two more. Soon after her return, the WNBA star injured her right groin.
The combined KOs mean Clark has missed 11 games out of 24 so far this WNBA season.
