Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark still has no timetable 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.
Cunningham fined for criticizing officials
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has been fined US$500 for a TikTok post criticizing the league’s referees, she wrote on X.
The original TikTok featured Cunningham lip-synching to song lyrics, saying, “Stupid. Or is it, slow? Or maybe, useless?” with the words “@ some refs” on the video.
The TikTok was posted on July 18 and has since garnered 1.3 million views.
“I got fined $500 for this TikTok,” Cunningham tweeted Wednesday, with laughing face emojis. “idk why this is funny to me... like ok you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now.”
Officiating has become a contentious issue in the league this season, with many players and coaches criticizing referees for inconsistent calls. Some of the most high-profile instances have surrounded calls involving Clark, Cunningham’s teammate.
“Everybody’s getting better — except the officials,” Fever head coach Stephanie White said last month. “So we got to find a way to remedy it. I mean, you’ve heard every coach talk about it, so I don’t know what the answer is.”
Cunningham has been in the headlines recently for appearing to be Clark’s protector. She was ejected after a physical altercation with Connecticut’s Jacy Sheldon last month following a scuffle between Sheldon and Clark earlier in the game. Sheldon was also ejected.
