Indiana Fever release Caitlin Clark injury report vs Phoenix Mercury
As expected, it doesn't carry the news that Fever fans or Iowa fans were hoping for. Indiana star point guard Caitlin Clark has been ruled out against the Phoenix Mercury with a right groin injury per the Indy Star's Chloe Peterson.
Clark's injury absence against the Mercury now makes it 14 regular season games that Clark has missed this season and 15 games overall, including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final.
This latest injury spell has now cost Clark five games. The 6-foot guard exited in the final minute of Indiana's 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15 and hasn't played since.
Clark's latest injury absence also included missing the 3-Point Contest and the WNBA All-Star Game in which she was one of the two team captains.
It's been a season marred and derailed by injury ailments dating back to the preseason. Clark missed the Fever's opening preseason contest with a left leg injury. Then, a left quadriceps strain cost Clark five games from May 28-June 10. That was followed up by a left groin injury that sidelined Clark for four regular season games and the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final from June 26-July 5.
The Indiana Fever released an official statement on Clark's injury status and on her recovery last Thursday, July 24.
"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.

3 Takeaways from Colts training camp practice No. 9: Anthony Richardson bounces back
Here are the three big takeaways from the Colts' ninth training camp practice on Sunday. The Indianapolis Colts returned to the field on Sunday for their second straight training camp practice and their ninth overall. While there's always a lot that takes place, let's dive into the three big takeaways from Sunday's practice. Anthony Richardson bounces back It was a rocky showing from Richardson during Saturday's practice, but he was able to bounce back on Sunday. According to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, Richardson went 10-for-14 passing during the team portion of Sunday's practice, where he worked mostly with the first team offense. This included Richardson converting a red zone touchdown and leading the offense into field goal range during a two-minute period. Prior to Saturday's practice, Richardson had put together multiple strong performances. Bad days are going to happen, but seeing Richardson bounce back like he did today is important. "I thought he did some really good things today," Shane Steichen said. "I thought he bounced back really well today." As far as Daniel Jones goes, Bowen also had him completing 10-of-14 passes. Shane Steichen has said that he's looking for consistency at quarterback, but before Sunday's practice took place, Jake Arthur of Horseshoe Huddle posted that Jones "could use some more flash." Is the starting spot next to Zaire Franklin up for grabs? All offseason, we've presumed that Jaylon Carlies will be starting next to Franklin--and that very well could end up being the case still. However, we also can't ignore the play of Joe Bachie, who seems to make a play every practice. Bowen would write that Bachie "has flashed more than Carlies." Bachie doesn't have ample defensive experience in his career, but he is the more seasoned NFL player compared to Carlies, not to mention that he's spent the last few seasons playing under Lou Anarumo in Cincinnati, so he is very well-versed in this new-look Colts' defense. "He played some really meaningful snaps for us in Cincinnati," Lou Anarumo said, via Horseshoe Huddle, "and we won some games with him operating – not only as just a guy, but as the green dot when Logan Wilson got hurt and Joe stepped in. So, I have the utmost confidence in Joe. He's a worker. He's a great guy. He's going to be in the right spots more than the wrong.' It's also important to point out that due to offseason shoulder surgery, Carlies was unable to practice during OTAs and minicamp, so to a degree, he's playing catch-up right now. The defensive line dominates the line of scrimmage As Nate Atkins of the Indy Star posted, the Colts' offensive line struggled mightily against the defensive front. By Atkins' count, the Colts' defense had around eight sacks just in today's practice. Defensive ends Laiatu Latu and Kwity Paye were two of the defenders who stood out to Atkins, and Steichen mentioned their play as well afterward. "Phenomenal," Steichen said of the play of the defensive line. "They were in the backfield a lot today. They had a ton of sacks there. I let it play out a little bit just to let the drill get going, but those guys are rushing hard. Latu had some really good rushes. Kwity had a good rush. Those guys are doing a great job." This is a position group that GM Chris Ballard has invested heavily into over the years, both in terms of salary cap space and draft capital, but this unit should also get a boost from playing in Lou Anarumo's more aggressive and disguise-heavy scheme, which up front, should also feature more movement to help generate mismatches.

The Fever have won four in a row, the best current win streak in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark, being sidelined by injury, has barely been a blip on the radar for the team as Kelsey Mitchell has stepped up. Midseason acquisition Aari McDonald has been a revelation at point guard, setting the Fever up to potentially be a title contender if Clark can come back near 100 percent. The Storm are 5-5 over their past 10 games. While the starting lineup is among the league's best with Skylar Diggins, Nneka Ogwumike, Ezi Magbegor, Gabby Williams, and Erica Wheeler, depth concerns have really hurt the team. In Friday's 108-106 double-overtime loss to the Sparks, only one starter played fewer than 39 minutes.
