Is Caitlin Clark playing today? Indiana Fever injury report vs Storm
CLARK INJURY UPDATE: Caitlin Clark has been ruled out of Sunday's game in Seattle due to her groin will be Clark's 7th straight game missed. @AngelaMoryanTV has the details. The Indiana Fever (16-12) return to action with a Sunday date out on the West Coast against the Seattle Storm (16-12). For the first time since June of 2015, the Fever are four games above .500. Indiana wound up advancing to the WNBA Finals that season before falling to the Minnesota Lynx. While Indiana is playing some of its best basketball of the season, the Fever are doing so minus one of their biggest pieces in star guard Caitlin Clark. Clark has been dealing with a right groin injury that has sidelined her since July 15. Is she finally back into the fold on Sunday? No, Clark has officially been ruled out per Angela Moryan of WISH News 8. Sunday's absence makes it seven straight games missed for Clark, dating back to the final game before the WNBA's All-Star break. The 6-foot guard has now missed 16 regular season games and 17 games overall, including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final. Clark has been dealing with injury woes dating back to the preseason. The Iowa alum missed the Fever's first preseason game with a left leg injury. Then, a left quadriceps strain cost Clark five games from May 28-June 10. That was followed by a left groin injury that sidelined Clark for four regular season games and the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final from June 26-July 5. In the first episode of her new "Show Me Something" podcast, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham commented on her teammate's injury struggles. "It is her groin, but it's such like a weird injury,' Cunningham said on her podcast when asked about Clark's return. 'She's not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you're out for I think they're trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks." In 13 games played, 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.

How to watch Fever vs. Storm: Indiana looks to extend its winning streak without Caitlin Clark
Seattle's hardwood hosts a marquee matinee Sunday at 3 p.m. ET when the red-hot Indiana Fever visit the Storm. Rebounds ricochet and WNBA stars deliver shimmer, sizzle and scoreboard-skipping suspense for hoopheads. How to watch Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm Venue: Climate Pledge Arena — Seattle Time: 3 p.m. ET, Sunday TV: ABC Streaming: Fubo (Save $20) Watching in person? Get tickets on StubHub. Live coverage is also available on ESPN+. Even while second-year guard Caitlin Clark remains out with a right groin strain, Indiana (16-12) is riding a four-game surge. Clark's absence has forced a democratic bend: The Fever are 8-7 without her, behind Aliyah Boston's 54.4 percent shooting and Kelsey Mitchell's 19.9 points a night. In an 88-78 win over the Dallas Wings on Friday night, Boston recorded her fifth straight double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) and Mitchell put up a game-high 23 points. Seattle (16-12) counters with 2016 MVP Nneka Ogwumike (18.1 points per game), who shined in a double-OT loss to her former team, the Los Angeles Sparks. Ogwumike crossed the 7,000-point threshold with her 37-point outing on Friday, becoming just the sixth player in WNBA history to reach that career milestone. The Storm also rely on center Ezi Magbegor's rim protection and a rejuvenated Skylar Diggins, whose All-Star Game triple-double was followed by another in just 23 minutes against the Connecticut Sun on July 28. Indiana claimed the lone prior meeting between these two teams, 94-86 on June 24, when Boston erupted for a career-high 31 in this same arena. Both clubs play around the same pace, so rebounding and turnovers loom large. If Boston limits Ogwumike's second-chance looks and Mitchell stays tidy under pressure, the Fever could secure their first five-game win streak of the season. Seattle has a tough stretch ahead before its Aug. 15 meeting with the Atlanta Dream in Vancouver, the first WNBA regular-season game held outside the United States. The Storm have the Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces and Sparks on tap before back-to-back showdowns against the Dream.
