Caitlin Clark's sophomore season has been interrupted by injuries, as the point guard has missed seven of 16 games for the Fever so far.
Most recently, Clark missed Friday's game with a groin issue, her second straight game sitting out with the injury. Clark missed five games earlier in the season with a quad injury after she played in every game in college and in her rookie season.
The Fever's next game is Tuesday night when they take on the Lynx for the Commissioner's Cup title, a bigger game than a typical regular-season contest. Will Clark return to action for the contest? Here's the latest.

Clark was not on the court with the Fever during shootaround early Tuesday afternoon, and coach Stephanie White labeled the star a "game-time decision" ahead of the Commissioner's Cup.
