Caitlin Clark Injury Update: Stephanie White provides latest on Fever star's uncertain return timeline

Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White said on Tuesday that Caitlin Clark's return remains uncertain.

White said the Fever star met with another doctor on Tuesday and traveled with the team to New York.

"She saw another [doctor] one this morning," White told reporters. "I have not spoken with the trainers yet in the time between shootarounds and the game. She did travel with the team."

The Fever face the defending champions New York Liberty on Tuesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

New York defeated Indiana 98-77 in their previous meeting before the All-Star break. Shortly before that game, Clark was downgraded to out due to a groin injury she suffered in the final minute of the Fever's 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15.

After playing 46 straight games to start her WNBA career, Clark has missed 11 games this season. The latest setback is her fourth in three months.

She first missed Indiana's preseason opener on May 3 with quad tightness. Clark then suffered a different quad strain against the Liberty on May 24. She was sidelined for over two weeks, missing five games. A left groin issue in late June sidelined Clark for four more games, excluding the Commissioner's Cup title game on July 1. She came back on July 9 and now faces another injury.

WNBA analyst says the Fever should shut down Caitlin Clark in July in preparation for their playoff push

In ESPN's "WNBA Countdown" on Tuesday, analyst Carolyn Peck presented what she thought was the best way for the Indiana Fever to deal with Caitlin Clark's injury.

Peck argued that Clark should be sidelined for the Fever's next four games. She said that the team's August schedule, which starts with four road games, could be grueling for someone dealing with an injury.

"Indiana has enough to play without her to kinda hold steady in playoff position," Peck said. "I can't tell you how important it is to be at home and to be able to rehab at your facility, so that you can be strong enough to finish the second half of August.

"Because I think that if you give her time and you let her rest, then you give her an opportunity to make that run as Indiana gets going."

Indiana will face the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday. After that, the Fever have two more games in July before they embark on a four-game road trip to start August.
