Chloe and Hank will also discuss the extension for Odyssey Sims and the addition of Shey Peddy, and break down the latest surrounding Caitlin Clark's recovery from a right groin injury.
It was an extremely eventful week for the Fever, who snapped a two-game losing streak on the road Sunday with the largest comeback in franchise history against the Connecticut Sun. The drama at Mohegan Sun Arena came with a bitter aftertaste, as the Fever lost a third player in 10 days to a season-ending injury, this one to guard Sophie Cunningham, who suffered a torn MCL early in the second quarter.

How long is Caitlin Clark out for? Fever share latest injury update
Clark's status remains 'status quo' Though it's not the news that Indiana fans were hoping for, the Fever did provide a bit of an injury update on star point guard Caitlin Clark on Wednesday. Asked after practice for an update on Clark, Fever head coach Stephanie White indicated circumstances haven't changed much for the Indiana superstar. "I mean, until she can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, we're really status quo. Same as we have been," White said. White had said before last Sunday's Fever win that Indiana still hoped Clark could return before regular season's end. "That's the hope. The hope is that she's back," White said before Sunday's win. Despite optimism from fans that recent roster moves were an indication of Clark's imminent return, a Fever spokesperson clarified to the IndyStar earlier this week that the organization's recent roster moves didn't have anything to do with the injury status of star guard Caitlin Clark. Clark has been sidelined by a series of injuries during the 2025 WNBA season. A left quadriceps injury, a left groin injury and this right groin injury have all cost Clark significant time during the 2025 campaign. With this news from White, it certainly seems as though Clark's stretch of regular season games missed due to injury will stretch to at least 14 straight. Clark has missed each of the Fever's past 13 regular season games with her right groin injury. That marked the 22nd regular season game that Clark has missed during the 2025 WNBA season and the 23rd game overall, including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final. This latest update from coach White doesn't feel like the most promising development for fans holding out hope that Clark will indeed still return from injury in the 2025 season. ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Ryan Ruocco said during the Fever's Tuesday, Aug. 12 game against the Dallas Wings that the Fever were hoping that Clark would return to practice this week. "Now, that stretch where they have the week off is where Stephanie White reiterated to us today she's hoping Caitlin Clark returns to practice. Stephanie talked yesterday about how Caitlin has been running more, doing more on-court work. "She is hoping that Caitlin returns to practice next week, would need multiple days of practice before she then gets into a game, but you see the way the schedule stacks up after that week and wonder could one of those games against Minnesota or maybe the 26th at home against Seattle be a potential return game," Ruocco said. Obviously, that return to practice for Clark hasn't happened yet, and it's beginning to seem like it could be telling. Limited to 13 games this season, Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game on 36.7% field-goal shooting and 27.9% 3-point accuracy.

Caitlin Clark misses another practice as Fever call her prospect of return 'status quo'
Two-time All-Star guard Caitlin Clark missed another practice with her injured right groin Wednesday, and coach Stephanie White still does not have a timetable for her star's return. Clark has not played since hurting her groin in the final minute of a game July 15 at Connecticut. Three different muscle injuries this season have forced Clark to sit out 22 games including the last 13 — and All-Star weekend in Indianapolis. The worst part: White is simply hoping Clark returns for some of her team's last nine regular-season games. Indiana also lost three other key players with season-ending injuries over the last two weeks. "Until she can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, it's really status quo,' White said after Wednesday's workout at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark never missed a game in college and played in every Fever game last season when she won the WNBA's Rookie of the Year Award. Indiana spent the offseason going all-in on putting a stronger supporting cast around the former Iowa star and those moves appear to have paid off by keeping the Fever in playoff position without Clark and the rest. But Clark still has a role with the Fever. 'Caitlin's still there, like that hasn't wavered,' All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell said. 'And I think even though they're not in the lineup, we still feel everyone's presence.' ___
