Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star ruled out vs Sparks
White indicated she was expecting Clark to be reevaluated before the game, but the guard appeared on the injury report Friday evening and was listed as "out."
"I prioritize her long-term health and wellness, and making sure when she comes back, she is 100%," White said.
It will be the 10th game that Clark has missed this season, including the Fever's 74-59 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final on July 1.

LeBron James gives strong two-word verdict on son Bronny's NBA Summer League performance for the Lakers
LeBron James sent out a two-word message after his son - and teammate - Bronny put in a dominant display in his 2025 Summer League debut. Bronny took to the floor on Sunday night and scored 10 points in 11 minutes against the Miami Heat - including a stunning one-handed dunk in the first quarter. A clip of the incident went viral on social media as fans watched the second-year guard steal the ball off the Heat before transitioning into a fast break. The Lakers star drove down the court before launching himself into the air - just past the free throw line - and performing the impressive dunk. It was a moment that left some fans in awe and excited about the season ahead for Bronny - while dad LeBron clearly shared that sentiment. The NBA legend posted an Instagram story with a screenshot of the dunk along with the caption: 'Bronny showtime'. The 20-year-old heads into the new season after making 27 outings in his rookie season for the Lakers - where he averaged 2.3 points in 6.7 minutes per game. In his G League performances, however, Bronny averaged 21.9 points, 5.5 assists and 5.1 rebounds from his 11 games. The youngster, recently, offered a coy response when asked about the future of his father - who will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Last week, LeBron officially opted into his $52.6million player option for the upcoming season but, by doing so, it raised questions about his future beyond 2025-26. When asked about LeBron's future, Bronny said: 'I said, 'I have no idea what you're talking about. 'I don´t really pay attention to that stuff. There´s a lot of stuff going around that I don´t pay attention to.' 'We don´t really talk about that much, but I think when stuff like that does come up, he just tells me to not worry about it, not even pay attention to it. 'Just lock in to what you have going on right now, and that's what's going to get me better and keep me focused. I think it's good that he tells me not to pay attention to that stuff.'

Taylor Rooks confirms lyrics from new Drake song 'Supermax' are about her
TNT Sports host Taylor Rooks has confirmed fan theories that she was name-dropped by Drake in his latest song. The rap superstar shocked fans as he shared the first episode of his new series 'ICEMAN' over the weekend - which included a snippet of a song called 'Supermax'. Fans were quick to note that one lyric mentioned a woman known as 'Taylor', with many speculating it referred to the TNT Sports host, who is a known friend of Drake. The lyrics in question were: 'I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep / 'Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you're the national treasure,' that's what she said to me'. Shortly after the video was released, Rooks eventually broke her silence with an Instagram story and put an end to the fan speculation. The glamorous broadcaster shared a screenshot of the song, with the lyrics: 'That's what she said to me'. The friendship between Rooks and Drake has been no secret in recent years and the duo have been publicly spotted together on multiple occasions. One of those included the Kentucky Derby back in 2022, where they posed for a picture together which Rooks later posted on his Instagram story. She wrote: 'Truly appreciate our friendship. These are legendary moments. Happy we all get to experience them with everyone'. Rooks, 33, has been with TNT Sports since 2023 where she began as a sideline reporter, typically for college basketball games. She then began covering NBA games during the 2024-25 season and, for the 2025-26 season, she will be leading NBA on Prime Video alongside Dirk Nowitski. Drake, meanwhile, made headlines last month as he sparked plastic surgery rumors after displaying a particularly defined set of six pack abs in a new thirst trap. The musician, 38, unveiled his chiseled torso in a post he uploaded to Instagram, followed by video of him going for a run in a park. However, a glaring detail set off alarm bells amongst fans who suspected the abs were not necessarily the result of his jogs but rather a plastic surgeon.
