"Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters that Clark had been limited to shooting drills and individual work. Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined since June 15 with a right groin injury. Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Mercury will be the 19th consecutive game she's missed and she's been limited to playing in just 13 games this season as she's dealt with several injuries to her left quad, left groin and right groin."
"White has said she needs Clark to participate in multiple practices before she is cleared to play in games, and then clarified that because they are under limited time, these practices could include just 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 work. Because the on-court work Clark did on Tuesday was non-contact, it doesn't seem likely that this counted toward the number of practice sessions she needs to return to game action."
Caitlin Clark remains not cleared for contact drills and was limited to shooting and individual work despite participating in full-court, 5-on-0 shootaround activity in Phoenix. Clark has been sidelined since June 15 with a right groin injury and has appeared in just 13 games this season, missing 19 consecutive contests while managing injuries to her left quad, left groin and right groin. She suffered a bone bruise to her left ankle on Aug. 7, and team officials said it is impossible to determine its impact because no return date was projected. The coaching staff wants her to complete multiple practices, potentially 3-on-3 or 4-on-4, before being cleared for games and prioritizes her long-term health.
