Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss her 13th consecutive game with a right groin injury Sunday when her team takes on the last-place Connecticut Sun. Clark, who was injured late in the Fever's win over the Sun on July 15, does not have an official return timeline. As of Monday, Clark had still not returned to practice.

The Indiana Fever are running out of room for error. A team that once sat firmly in the playoff mix has slipped to seventh in the standings, and the absence of Caitlin Clark continues to loom over everything. With the regular season winding down, Indiana is desperate for wins just to stay in the postseason picture.

Hopefully, some good news comes out about Clark's progress and a potential return date. For now, ESPN's projected return date of August 26 is something to take note of as a possible glimmer of hope for Indiana. Next up for the Fever will be a Sunday afternoon matchup on the road against the Connecticut Sun.
