Caitlin Clark not expected to play when Indiana Fever resume season Tuesday at New York
Clark missed Indiana's final game before the All-Star break with an injured right groin and pulled out of Friday night's 3-point contest as well as Saturday's All-Star Game.
Clark told reporters on Saturday night that she had been getting treatment during the festivities, which also took place in Indianapolis.
She was injured in the final minute of Tuesday's victory at Connecticut.
While she is improving, White said, the Fever intend to be cautious with Clark, who missed 10 games during the first half of the season with three different muscle injuries.
'She's going to see some doctors and get more tests early in the week,' White said. 'I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to take it one day at a time and let her get evaluations early this week and then, once we've done that, hopefully we'll have more of a clear vision of what it looks like.'
Clark never missed a game because of injury during her college career at Iowa or last season when she was selected the WNBA's Rookie of the Year.
The two-time All-Star is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds this season for a team that was expected to contend for a league championship. But Clark's injuries and other obstacles have kept the Fever hovering near the middle of the standings with a 12-11 mark.
'These soft tissue injuries, sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow to heal in the offseason,' White said.

;;; Darrell Walker/Corbis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images From Left: Sue Bird, Brittney Griner, Paige Buckers, and Chamique Holdsclaw. The WNBA has been getting gayer every year since its inception. With 41 queer players in the league this year, the StudBudz taking over All-Star weekend, and couples like Paige Bueckers/Azzi Fudd and NaLyssa Smith/DiJonai Carrington making headlines, the WNBA's LGBTQ+ fans are eating well. Over the course of the nearly 30-year history of the WNBA, 11 of the No.1 overall draft picks have been gay.

But not only were these players the best of the best in the NCAA, but they've gone on to have illustrious, headline-making careers in the WNBA.

She is a three-time WNBA champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, two-time NCAA champion, two-time Gatorade Player of the Year, a seven-time WNBA All-Star, and five-time Russian League National Champion. Parker played for the Los Angeles Sparks, Chicago Sky, and the Las Vegas Aces over the course of her career, which ended in 2024 when she retired to pursue a career in broadcasting for NBA and NCAA games. Relationship status After keeping things under wraps, Parker announced she married Anna Petrakova in 2019. The lovebirds had been teammates during the WNBA offseason when they were both playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg. Now they share two children.

Janel McCarville (2005) Janel McCarville was initially drafted to the now-defunct Charlotte Sting. The star center played her final WNBA season with the Minnesota Lynx in 2016, after winning a WNBA Championship with the team in 2013. After retiring from the WNBA, McCarville returned to he home state and is now coaching high school basketball in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Relationship status McCarville has been very private about her personal life, but appears to spend a great deal of time with her family. Diana Taurasi (2004) When GOAT Diana Taurasi was the No.1 draft pick back in 2004, the Phoenix Mercury snapped her up, and she ended up playing for the team for the entirety of her legendary 20-year-long career. She is the WNBA's all-time leading scorer and one of the most decorated basketball players of all time, taking home three WNBA championships, six Olympic medals, and is an 11-time All-Star.

During her career, Bird took home four WNBA championships with the Storm, five Olympic gold medals, was selected as an All-Star 13 times, and was picked for All-WNBA teams. Much like Taurasi, Bird retired in 2022 after 20 years on the same team that originally drafted her. Relationship status Bird got engaged to soccer legend Megan Rapinoe in 2020. The pair have both retired from the world of sports and now host a podcast together called A Touch More. Ann Wauters (2000) Ann Wauters was the No.1 draft pick by the now-defunct Cleveland Rockers back in 2000.

Relationship status Wauters met her partner Lot Wielfaert in 2007. They got married in Belgium that same year, and then in 2010 they both announced they were pregnant at the same time. Wielfaert, who was also a pro baller, retired to help raise their children. Wauters was a pioneer at a time when very few public figures were out and even fewer were public about having children, and the WNBA didn't provide maternity care. The couple is still together and shares three children, Lou, Vance, and Dree. Chamique Holdsclaw (1999) The WNBA had its inaugural season in 1997, and just two years later it's first LGBTQ+ player was drafted when Chamique Holdsclaw was picked No. 1 overall by the Washington Mystics. Holdsclaw was named Rookie of the Year, was a six-time WNBA All-Star, and took home a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Sun vs. Sparks prediction: WNBA picks, odds, best bets
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Connecticut Sun own the WNBA's worst record at 3-19 and are widely recognized as the least-talented team. However, they are expected to welcome back top scoring guard Marina Mabrey on Thursday when they host the Los Angeles Sparks as six-point underdogs with a total of 166.5 points. A knee injury has kept Mabrey out for more than a month and Connecticut has managed just a 1-8 mark over that span. She is a necessary piece in their offense and her mere presence creates better opportunities for her teammates. Plus, during this extended absence, role players were asked to handle more of the scoring burden and that served as baptism by fire. Players such as Bria Hartley and Aneesah Morrow have seen their games evolve. Connecticut Sun players Aneesah Morrow (24), Saniya Rivers (22), Bria Hartley (14), Tina Charles (31) and Leila Lacan (47) stands on the court during the second half of a WNBA basketball game against the Indiana Fever, Tuesday, July 15, 2025, in Boston. AP Plus, rookie Saniya Rivers is adjusting to the pro game, scoring in double figures in four of her past five games. Veteran Tina Charles has been a solid constant while leading the team with 15.6 points per game. Connecticut faced the Sparks less than two weeks ago and the teams combined for 180 points. The Sun offense has eventually learned to score without Mabrey, so I expect her return to only help that output. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps These two defenses rank worst and second worst in field goal percentage and points allowed. This shapes up to be another high-scoring affair. I have a 56-47-1 ATS record in this Post sports section. My next play is Sun-Sparks Over 166.5 points (-110, FanDuel Sportsbook).
