Caitlin Clark’s most realistic return date has been outlined following her absence in Sunday’s clash against the Chicago Sky.
Fortunately for the Indiana Fever, Clark was hardly missed as they picked up an easy win.
However, according to reports, the former Iowa guard could be out for a few more weeks following a groin injury that has kept her sidelined since July 15. Clark has missed four consecutive games due to this latest setback, bringing her total to 13 absences for the season.
Fever head coach Stephanie White indicated that the player is day-to-day, but ESPN reports that she might not be back until mid-August.
Holly Rowe, who was on the Fever-Sky broadcast on Sunday, explained that the team will be more cautious with Clark this time, making the third week in August her most realistic return date, based on the team’s schedule.

Rowe indicated that the Fever will afford Clark time to practice with her teammates and get into rhythm, something she didn’t get to do previously.
“This time, they’re going to make sure she has time and practices to get rhythm and time with her teammates,” she said.
“As you look at their schedule, the third week in August provides a few more practice days where that seems like it’s realistic,” Rowe added. “While she does remain day-to-day, that’s seems like a better timetable for a possible Caitlin Clark return.”
Indiana is heading into a busy period that will see them play five games over the span of 11 days. The schedule will get a bit lighter in mid-August, with one game to play between August 16 and August 22.
Clark is still traveling with the Fever and watched them beat the Sky 93-78 on Sunday afternoon. Her rival Angel Reese also missed the game with a back injury.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
