Is Caitlin Clark playing today?

Clark was officially out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Storm, and Indiana ruled her out with her groin injury. The expectation coming into Sunday was that Clark still needed more time to recover from her injury.

Clark hasn't played since July 15, when she suffered a groin injury late in the game against the Sun. She has missed 15 games total due to injury this year, most with issues relating to her groin, which includes five games due to a different groin injury earlier this year.

Fever coach Stephanie White said Sunday that they "still don’t know how far we are" in Clark's recovery, but they continue to take it "one step at a time, one day at a time."

Steph White on CC’s recovery: “I know she wants to be out on the floor and we want her out on the floor, but making sure that she’s ready is the most important thing. I still don’t know how far we are, we’re going to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.”
