Caitlin Clark not expected to play when Indiana Fever resume season Tuesday at New York
Clark missed Indiana's final game before the All-Star break with an injured right groin and pulled out of Friday night's 3-point contest as well as Saturday's All-Star Game.
Clark told reporters on Saturday night
that she had been getting treatment during the festivities, which also took place in Indianapolis.
She was injured
in the final minute of Tuesday's victory at Connecticut.
While she is improving, White said, the Fever intend to be cautious with Clark, who missed 10 games during the first half of the season with three different muscle injuries.
'She's going to see some doctors and get more tests early in the week,' White said. 'I don't expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we're just going to take it one day at a time and let her get evaluations early this week and then, once we've done that, hopefully we'll have more of a clear vision of what it looks like.'
Clark never missed a game because of injury during her college career at Iowa or last season when she was selected the WNBA's Rookie of the Year.
The two-time All-Star is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds this season for a team that was expected to contend for a league championship. But Clark's injuries and other obstacles have kept the Fever hovering near the middle of the standings with a 12-11 mark.
'These soft tissue injuries, sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow to heal in the offseason,' White said.

Eugenio Suárez continues homer binge for D-backs, goes deep for 5th time in 3 games
Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) — Eugenio Suarez continued his power surge for the Arizona Diamondbacks by hitting his fifth home run in the past three games, a solo shot against the Houston Astros on Monday night. The 34-year-old Suárez — who is one of the baseball's most coveted bats as the Aug. 1 trade deadline approaches — leads the National League with 36 homers. He was named the NL Player of the Week for the fourth time this season earlier Monday. Suárez hit two homers against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday and again on Sunday. The All-Star third baseman is also the third D-backs player to hit seven homers over a six-game span, joining Reggie Sanders (2001) and J.D. Martinez (2017). He's the first to accomplish the feat in the big leagues since Aaron Judge in 2024. Suárez — who is a free agent this offseason — has long been considered one of the top sluggers on the market for prospective buyers at the deadline. But it's unclear if the D-backs will be willing to trade Suárez since they came into Monday's game on the fringes of playoff contention with a 50-50 record. ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 1

WNBA Players Make Bold Fashion Statement At All-Star Game
Source: Steph Chambers / Getty Aliyah Boston was one WNBA star who took to the court during the All-Star game this weekend, donning warm-up shirts emblazoned with the words: 'Pay us what you owe us.' More than just a slogan on a stylish t-shirt, these words echo decades of frustration over the financial disparities that women, especially minority women, face in professional sports. The statement was a bold and necessary reminder that talent, effort, and visibility deserve proper compensation. From the chic tunnel styles to the dynamic talent on the court, the WNBA is delivering what it is supposed to, garnering plenty of star power. However, what it has lacked is the financial recognition that the franchise has earned. Despite the league's steady growth, increased viewership, and a social media boom fueled by culturally savvy players and high-level play, WNBA athletes are still paid just a fraction of what their male counterparts in the NBA make. The call for equal pay isn't just about salaries, it's about equity, visibility, and value. This subtle protest arrives at a critical time. The 2024 season saw record-breaking attendance and viewership, thanks in part to rookies such as Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, as well as the continued dominance of players like A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart. Brands are lining up, social media is buzzing, and merch is flying off the shelves. The WNBA is no longer fighting to be seen. Therefore, when WNBA players say, 'pay us what you owe us,' they're not only speaking to the league; they're also addressing a system that has historically undervalued Black women in every field, including athletics. GloRilla Elevates the WNBA Movement After the subtle protest during the warm-up came the first half of the game, followed by the halftime turn-up. Memphis-bred rapper GloRilla lit up the stadium with her energetic performance, which had the players bouncing and even the popular mascot Big Ellie in her dancing bag. The powerful statement tees coupled with the electrifying GloRilla performance were more than a moment for the WNBA. It's a movement for women. And it's time for the checks to match the cheers.

Josh Bell and Daylen Lile lead Nationals in 10-8 win over Reds
WASHINGTON (AP) — Josh Bell homered and doubled, Daylen Lile hit a three-run triple and the Washington Nationals beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 on Monday night with their biggest offensive output since July 3. They have won three of their last 13 games. Lile cleared the bases in a four-run first and Bell hit a second-deck solo homer, his 12th, in a three-run third to lead 7-0. The Nationals collected 15 hits, six for extra-bases including James Wood with two doubles. Brady House and Jacob Young had three hits each. The Reds strung together four straight RBI singles in a five-run fourth inning, knocking out Nationals starter Jake Irvin. Andrew Chafin (1-0), the fourth of seven Nationals pitchers, got the win with a hitless six inning. Reds starter Brady Singer (7-8) lasted just 2 1/3 innings, giving up seven runs on five hits and two walks. Six Reds relievers added six more walks and 10 hits. Noelvi Marte and Gavin Lux had two hits and two RBIs each for the Reds. Key moment The first five Nationals reached base in the opening inning before Lile hit his bases-clearing triple into the right-field corner. Key stat The Reds had not allowed more than four runs in each of their previous eight games (17 runs total) but a four-run first then a three-run third by Washington erased that streak. Up next Reds RHP Chase Burns (0-1, 6.19) will face Nationals RHP Brad Lord (2-5, 3.46) on Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:
