Is Caitlin Clark playing today? Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky
Caitlin Clark has been sidelined with a right groin injury since the final minute of the Indiana Fever's 85-77 July 15 win over Connecticut from TD Garden in Boston. Unfortunately, Fever fans won't be seeing Clark on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Sky (7-17). The Indy Star's Brian Haenchen reported on Saturday evening that Clark had officially been ruled out against Chicago. Including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final, it's now the 14th game that Clark will have missed due to injury this season. On Thursday, the Indiana Fever released a statement on Clark's injury status and her progression. "Caitlin Clark underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week, which confirmed that no additional injuries or damage were discovered. "Clark will continue working with the medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being. There is no timetable available for her return," the Fever's statement read. Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game on 36.7% field goal shooting and 27.9% 3-point accuracy. Fans may not get to see Chicago star forward Angel Reese either. Reese (back) is listed as questionable in the availability report released Saturday night. Chicago (7-17) ruled out Ariel Atkins (leg), Moriah Jefferson (leg) and Courtney Vandersloot (knee) for Sunday game's game with Hailey Van Lith (ankle) and Michaela Onyenwere (knee) also listed questionable. Sunday's Fever-Sky game was moved to the United Center earlier this year to accommodate tickets demand. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. CT on ABC.
