Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star to get more opinions, tests on groin
White shared the news with reporters on Sunday, July 20 as the team returned to practice following the WNBA All-Star Game, which was held in Indianapolis.
Clark initially suffered the groin injury during the final moments of the game against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. She was voted as a team captain for the All-Star game, but was unable to play, stating, "I have to rest my body."
White doesn't expect Caitlin Clark to be available to play against the New York Liberty for the Fever's next game on Tuesday, July 22.
"She's going to see some doctors and get some more tests around early in the week," White told reporters. "I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to continue to take it one day at a time and let her get her evaluations early this week and then once we've done that, hopefully we'll have a clear line of what it looks like."
Clark did not practice on Sunday, along with the Fever's other All-Stars Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
It's the fourth muscle-related injury for Clark this season. She's missed 11 of the Fever's 23 games this season, including the Commissioner's Cup victory over the first-place Minnesota Lyxn.
Clark's other injuries from this season include her left groin, quad tightness and a quad strain.

Caitlin Clark still has no timetable for return following further medical evaluation this week
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark still has no time table to return, the team said Thursday following further medical tests this week. No further injuries were discovered during this week's evaluations. Clark has missed three games — including last weekend's WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis — since injuring her right groin July 15 against the Connecticut Sun. She traveled with her team to New York for their loss to the Liberty on Tuesday night. The Fever said Clark is continuing to work with team medical staff on her recovery and rehabilitation. Clark's current injury is the latest in a string of difficulties for the Fever star, which has included a left groin injury and a left quad strain earlier in the season. ___ AP WNBA:

49ers sign former Lions WR, release third-year RB
After trading Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders and losing Chris Conley to retirement this offseason, the San Francisco 49ers haven't had the best injury luck at wide receiver to start training camp. Second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall surprisingly started camp on the PUP with a hamstring injury that he's been dealing with since minicamp. Then, on Wednesday, 2024 fourth-round pick Jacob Cowing suffered a hamstring injury of his own just before their first training camp session of the year. Pearsall and Cowing join Brandon Aiyuk, who's recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season, as injured wideouts on San Francisco's roster. To give quarterback Brock Purdy another weapon to target in practice, the 49ers signed wide receiver Quintez Cephus on Thursday. Cephus, 27, played collegiately at Wisconsin from 2016-19 before the Detroit Lions took him in the fifth round (No. 166 overall) of the 2020 NFL draft. He spent three seasons in Detroit, catching 37 passes for 568 yards and four touchdowns in 22 games. Since then, he's had short stints with the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams, but he hasn't played in a game since 2022. To make room for Cephus on the roster, San Francisco released running back Israel Abanikanda. The 22-year-old running back played at Pittsburgh from 2020-22, where he earned All-ACC and All-American honors in his final season. The New York Jets took Abanikanda in the fifth round (No. 143 overall) of the 2023 NFL draft, and he rushed for 70 yards on 3.2 yards per attempt and caught seven passes for an additional 43 yards in six games as a rookie. The 49ers claimed him off waivers in December after the Jets released him, but he never appeared in a game for them. San Francisco's running back room now includes Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor Jr., 2025 fifth-round pick Jordan James and undrafted rookie Corey Kiner.
