The Indiana Fever ruled Caitlin Clark out for Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Sparks due to her lingering left groin injury.
Clark will sit out for a fifth straight game and miss her 10th game of the season, including the Commissioner's Cup final Tuesday, when Indiana toppled the league-leading Minnesota Lynx 74-59.
The Cup final does not count toward the regular-season standings, but nonetheless, the Fever have won three straight games during Clark's absence.
Indiana coach Stephanie White said at the time of Clark's injury that it was "very much a day-to-day thing." After Saturday, the Fever are off again until a home date with the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.
Clark, 23, sat out five games due to a left quad injury before returning to action against the New York Liberty on June 14. The second-year guard is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games (all starts) this season for Indiana
Clark won Rookie of the Year honors and made the All-Star and All-WNBA teams in 2024-25 following a record-setting career at Iowa.
