Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is not expected to play on Thursday against the Phoenix Mercury.

Clark has missed eight consecutive games due to a right groin injury suffered in the Fever’s win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15. There’s still no official timetable for her return, but she continues to travel with the team.

She was seen at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles as the Fever lost 100-91 to the Sparks on Tuesday. The loss snapped Indiana’s five-game win streak.

Clark underwent additional medical evaluations late last month, but the results showed “no additional injuries or damage.”

She’s dealt with multiple injuries this season that have kept her out of action. She was previously sidelined for five games due to a left quad injury and four games with a left groin injury. Clark also missed the Fever’s Commissioner’s Cup win and the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game and 3-point competition.
