For the second time this season, Caitlin Clark will be missing time with an injury.
The Indiana Fever superstar missed five games with a calf injury and returned earlier this month.
However, the Fever announced on Thursday that the second-year phenom will miss their game against the Los Angeles Sparks with a left groin injury.

This may point to Clark's most recent shooting woes. In her return from injury, she dropped 11 of her first 20 shots from three-point range. But in her last three contests, she is just 1-for-23 from deep.
In that span, she has scored 11, 19, and six points, but has recorded nine, 10, and nine assists.
In total, Clark is 13-for-47 (27.7%) from the floor. Each of those three games were on the road, and the Fever went 1-2 in that stretch, winning their most recent contest against the Seattle Storm.

"She'll be fine," teammate Lexie Hull told reporters after the game, via the Indy Star . "We're not worried about it. She's a great shooter, she's a great player. This happens to every player, every great player. She'll be fine."
Aaliyah Boston had 31 points and eight rebounds, while Kelsey Mitchell added 26, to pick up Clark through her struggles.
The Fever are currently 7-7 - Los Angeles will enter the contest at 4-11. It is a brief return home for the Fever before they go back on the road for two more games. They will then begin a five-game homestand.
Clark had never missed time due to injury until this year. She was also dealing with a leg injury during the preseason and missed one game.

Red Sox's Cora says Yoshida set to start rehab assignment at Triple-A
BOSTON — The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon. Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October. 'He'll go on a rehab assignment. We'll see how many at-bats he needs,' Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. 'He's moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better. He's been able to bounce back, so we just have to map it out and see how we're going to do it.'

Davion Mitchell staying in Miami on 2-year, $24 million deal, AP source says
MIAMI (AP) — Davion Mitchell is coming back to the Miami Heat on a two-year contract worth $24 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Saturday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal has not yet been signed and announced. Mitchell — who the Heat consider to be one of the best on-ball defenders in the league — was traded to Miami in February as part of the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to Golden State. Mitchell appeared in 30 regular-season games with the Heat, started 15 of them and averaged 10.7 points in those contests. He averaged 15 points in Miami's four playoff games this past season and indicated to the team that he was willing to return. He could have been a restricted free agent this summer. 'Being here, I kind of just fit right in,' Mitchell said when the Heat season ended. 'They needed someone who can be a defensive presence, who can get their teammates open, make my teammates lives a lot easier, and I think that's what I did.' The Heat are his third team, after stints in Sacramento and Toronto. The No. 9 pick in the 2021 draft by the Kings has averaged 7.6 points and 3.3 assists in 301 regular-season games over parts of four seasons. ___ AP NBA:
