Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star to miss 14th regular-season game, remains out with right groin issue
Caitlin Clark has played in 13 games this season. The Indiana Fever superstar will now miss her 14th regular-season game, and 15th game overall since the opener. Clark was listed out for Wednesday's matchup against the Phoenix Mercury, according to IndyStar's Chloe Peterson. Clark remains sidelined with a right groin injury. The Fever announced on July 24 that further medical evaluations Clark received didn't reveal any additional injuries or damage. In the same statement, the team said that "there is no timetable available for Clark's return" and that the organization is prioritizing "her long-term health and well-being." Wednesday's game will be the fifth in a row Clark has sat out. During that span, the Iowa product also had to back out of the WNBA 3-Point Contest as well as the league's All-Star Game. While the Fever hosted All-Star Weekend, Clark still showed up to the Indianapolis festivities and helped coach the team she captained in the All-Star Game. After making it through her illustrious college career and the first season of her pro career mostly unscathed, Clark has been bit by the injury bug this year. Coming off her WNBA Rookie of the Year campaign in 2024, Clark entered her sophomore season in the W with sky-high expectations. Although she missed the preseason opener with left quad tightness, she quickly put that absence in the rear view mirror with a 20-10-10 triple-double in the first game of the regular season. But the now-two-time All-Star didn't get out of May without another injury. A left quad strain took her out of the lineup for five games between May 28 and June 10. She returned, only to then go down with a left groin injury that kept her out for four regular-season games, plus the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final, from June 26 to July 5. The right groin injury is her fourth muscle injury this season. She is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting only 36.7% from the field and 27.9% from 3. Clark, normally a spectacular shooter, has particularly struggled in her last seven games, posting a sub-30% field goal percentage and an uncharacteristic 14.3% clip from beyond the arc during that window. The Fever are currently sixth in the league table with a 14-12 record. They are 6-7 without Clark in the lineup, not counting their victory over the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final, which doesn't factor into the standings.

NASCAR driver hospitalized in scary dirt track crash: ‘Tremendous amount of pain'
A NASCAR driver was involved in a terrifying dirt track accident in Quebec, Canada, on Monday night and sustained injuries when the dirt-modified car he was driving struck a barrier and flew into the air. NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Stewart Friesen was taking part in the first night of a Super DIRTcar Series event at Autodrome Drummond when the accident occurred, which left him with an unstable open-book pelvic fracture and a fractured right leg, according to a statement by the driver's wife, Jessica Friesen. Both injuries will require surgery, and Friesen was transferred to a larger hospital on Tuesday morning for the procedures. 3 Stewart Friesen was in a scary crash. Last Lap Insider/X CT scans cleared Friesen of any head, neck or spine injuries, though 'he is still in a tremendous amount of pain,' according to the statement. The race was on lap 17 when Friesen's car started to go over the berm on the back straightaway and collided with the outside retaining wall, with the impact sending the car flipping into the air and erupting into flames as it rolled back onto the track. 3 Friesen's car hit the barrier and went flying Last Lap Insider/X The cockpit came to a rest in the middle of the track as pieces of the car lay around it. The racing series reported on social media that Friesen was alert and communicating with race officials and EMT on site before he was able to be extracted from the car. He was then taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. The racing circuit told CNY Central that race officials and first responders were given the same medical emergency training as NASCAR and IndyCar safety staffers go through. 'Thank you to the manufacturers who have made dirt modifieds as safe as possible, and to the track crew for their patience and hard work getting Stew out of the car,' Jessica said in Tuesday's statement. 3 Stewart Friesen, driver of the Halmar International Toyota, celebrates in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 Powered by Precision Vehicle Logistics at Michigan International Speedway on June 7, 2025 in Brooklyn, Michigan.

NASCAR Suspends Austin Hill One Race For Intentionally Wrecking Aric Almirola
NASCAR suspended Xfinity Series driver Austin Hill for one race for retaliating Saturday against Aric Almirola by hooking his car in the right rear, sending Almirola hard into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway wall. Hill will serve his suspension this weekend at Iowa Speedway. Austin Dillon will replace him in the Richard Childress Racing No. 21 Xfinity Series car. "Richard Childress Racing will not appeal the penalty NASCAR issued to the No. 21 team following the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway," the team said in a social media post. "We remain focused on winning a championship with Austin Hill in 2025." The penalty is more than a suspension. A driver who is suspended loses all playoff points earned during the regular season. Playoff points help a driver advance in the three-race playoff rounds if they do not win. Hill is fifth in the Xfinity Series standings and is ranked third in playoff points with 21 (not including the points he would earn by finishing in the top 10 of the regular-season standings). The suspension was not a surprise, as NASCAR often suspends drivers for that type of retaliatory move on high-speed tracks. Earlier this season, NASCAR did not suspend Austin Cindric but instead docked him 50 points and fined him $50,000 or a retaliatory hook on Ty Dillon in the Cup race at Circuit of the Americas. That incident has remained a topic of debate. Hill said on the radio to his team that the accident wasn't on purpose. Almirola, speaking on the CW race telecast after the accident, said it was obvious that it was. NASCAR held Hill five laps after the incident for reckless driving. "It was definitely intentional," Almirola said. Almirola said he did make contact with Hill to force him to wiggle so Almirola could make the pass. "I got him loose and he just turned left and hooked me in the right rear," Almirola said. "[It was] honestly one of the biggest hits in my entire NASCAR career. Very reminiscent of the hit I took when I broke my back [in 2017 at Kansas]." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
