Caitlin Clark once again watched from the sidelines as the Indiana Fever recorded a hard-fought 78-74 win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday. The road victory was powered by another strong collective effort from the Fever, who will be without their superstar point guard for the foreseeable future owing to a right groin injury.

Ahead of tipoff, Indiana coach Stephanie White provided the latest update on the two-time All-Star to the media, confirming that there is no timeline yet for Clark’s highly anticipated return.

"I still don’t know how far we are. We’re going to take it one step at a time, one day at a time," White said.

Caitlin Clark has missed more games than she has played this season, when she was the WNBA Rookie of the Year. The former Iowa standout has sat out 16 games and suited up in just 13. Despite the point guard’s lengthy absence, Indiana has performed remarkably well this season.

Stephanie White’s team is currently the hottest franchise in the league. After Sunday’s win over the Storm, the Fever extended their win streak to five games, which is the longest among all teams. Indiana sits in fifth place in the league standings with a 17-12 record, just one game behind the third spot.

Caitlin Clark has suffered three separate injuries this season

Caitlin Clark was last in action in the Indiana Fever’s game against the Connecticut Sun before the All-Star break. In the first half of the season, the Fever guard suffered three injuries. She made her comeback after recovering from the first two setbacks, while her latest injury continues to keep her sidelined.

Clark first suffered a quad strain, which forced her to miss five consecutive games. She then missed five more matchups due to a left groin strain. Most recently, a right groin injury has already sidelined her for seven straight outings.
