Caitlin Clark's latest groin injury has led to speculation that the Indiana Fever might delay her return to the court or even shut her down for the rest of the season. However, WNBA analyst Robin Lundberg does not think that will be the case.Before the Fever hosted the Aces on Thursday, Fever coach Stephanie White said it was important to stay patient with Clark as she steps up her rehab."No more damage, now it's just being patient with the process.""[Doing] Mostly rehab, shooting. She's been with our athletic training team."Lundberg analyzed White's comments, focusing on the "rehab and shooting" aspects. He believes these are significant developments. "It means that, No. 1, she's not shut down, which is significant," Lundberg said in a YouTube video. "She's rehabbing for her injury, which you rehab for the intent of a return. She's also shooting, which means she's not just sitting there doing nothing. Those are not small details. I think Caitlin Clark is going to be back sooner than at least people are putting out there in the universe."Clark remains out without a timetable for now. The Fever are 13-12 and still in playoff contention, placed third in the East and sixth overall.Indiana Fever improve to 5-7 without Caitlin ClarkThe Indiana Fever improved to 5-7 in Caitlin Clark's absence after beating the Las Vegas Aces 80-70 on Thursday.
