INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark<\/a> was not in the lineup for the Indiana Fever<\/a> on Tuesday night against Seattle, but she is perhaps not too far away from returning.<\/p>\n Coach Stephanie White said Tuesday that Clark, last season’s Rookie of the Year, participated in a walk-through on Monday as part of her ramping-up process for returning to play.<\/p>\n “She went through it yesterday,” White told reporters. “I want to see her in practice. Live in practice. I want to see her continue to work to not just build endurance, but to be able to handle contact [for] 94 feet as it’s going to be in-game, and to be able to do that and sustain from an endurance standpoint.”<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n White said it would take multiple practices for Clark to return to action. The star guard has missed 24 games this year with muscle injuries, including the last 15 with a strained right groin. In 13 games, Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds.<\/p>\n Clark, who has not played or practiced since July 15, participated in Indiana’s pregame shootaround Sunday at Minnesota.<\/p>\n
