Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters on Monday that star guard Caitlin Clark has not returned to practice while she recovers from a groin injury.<\/p>\n
“No return to practice. She has been able to get a little bit more into her full-court running, with all of her body weight,” she said. “It’s really building up from doing minimal to then building some endurance to do longer periods of time. She has been able to do a little bit more on the court in terms of how she moves. But not into practice yet, no.”<\/p>\n
Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, hasn’t played since July 15 and has only appeared in 13 games this season. When healthy she’s averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per game, shooting just 36.7 percent from the field and 27.9 percent from three.<\/p>\n
It hasn’t been the sophomore season anyone was expecting, though the Fever have kept themselves in playoff positioning, going 18-14 on the year. But the injuries have mounted in a major way this month, with both Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald ruled out for the season<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n Clark will be a very welcome addition once she’s healthy. For now, however, she hasn’t progressed to the point of practicing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters on Monday that star guard Caitlin Clark has not returned…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":138124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-138123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-united-states","10":"tag-unitedstates","11":"tag-us","12":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115012640718233061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
