**Caitlin Clark to Miss Fifth Consecutive Game Due to Injury**
Caitlin Clark, the standout player for the Indiana Fever, is set to miss her fifth consecutive game due to a groin injury as the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday. Clark has been officially listed as out on the team’s injury report ahead of the matchup.
Since sustaining the injury during a game against the Sparks on June 26, which resulted in an 85-75 loss for the Fever, Clark has been sidelined. This will mark her ninth absence in the regular season and her tenth overall, including the Commissioner’s Cup final. Earlier in the season, she also missed five games due to a left quad strain.
Remarkably, Clark had not missed a game in her professional or collegiate career prior to this season. Fever head coach Stephanie White noted that while Clark participated in some drills on Friday, she was not at full speed during practice. White mentioned that Clark would undergo further evaluation on Saturday morning.
This season, Clark has been averaging an impressive 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and five rebounds per game. The Fever currently hold a 9-8 record and have won four of their last five games as they head into the matchup against the Sparks.
