Caitlin Clark will consult with multiple doctors about her groin injury this week, Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters following the team's practice Sunday. Clark is not expected to play in the team's upcoming game against the Liberty.

"She's going to see some doctors and get some more tests around early in the week," White said. "You know, I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to continue to take it one day at a time and let her get her evaluations early this week and then once we've done that, hopefully we'll have a clear line of what it looks like."

The injury is Clark's fourth of the season, after previously missing preseason games with left quad tightness, and then missing another 10 games due to a left quad injury and a left groin injury. 

Clark's latest injury occurred during the team's July 15 game against the Connecticut Sun. She exited the game in the final minute and was seen in tears on the sideline; Clark was not able to participate in the 3-point challenge or the All-Star Game in Indianapolis last week.

"When the injury happened, it was pretty frustrating, considering, I knew what the coming days were gonna hold for myself," Clark told reporters before the All-Star Game Saturday. "But I feel like dealing with that, and then also just like trying to look at it in the most positive manner that I can. ... I think just it all comes back to having good perspective on everything."
