Caitlin Clark, who has been sidelined since July 15 with a right groin injury, did not travel with the Indiana Fever for Sunday's game at the Connecticut Sun.

Clark’s status remains critical to Indiana’s playoff hopes. The Fever enter Sunday’s game at 18-16, holding the seventh seed in the standings. With just a handful of games left, the margin for error is thin, and the team must maintain stability without their leading guard.
