Indiana Fever head coach updates Caitlin Clark injury recovery
White was asked how Clark's recovery is going with her right groin injury and how close Clark is to a return.
"Yeah, we have updates and her recovery's going well. It's just, I think for us, staying the course, and making sure that we're really diligent about each step that we take and that we don't have setbacks and that we're patient with it.
"I know she wants to be out here on the floor and we want her out here on the floor, but making sure that she's ready is the most important thing. I still don't know how far we are. We're going to take it one step at a time, one day at a time and go from there,' White said.
Sunday marks Clark's seventh straight game missed due to the injury. The 6-foot guard has missed 16 regular-season games and 17 games overall, including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final. Clark has been dealing with injury woes dating to the preseason.
While there is no timeline for Clark's return, speculation has focused on a five-day break between Indiana's games on Aug. 17 (on the road at Connecticut) and Aug. 22 (at home against Minnesota). The gap would provide a window for the team to reintegrate her into the lineup if the former Hawkeye is fully healed by that time.
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.

Evaluating where Liberty stand as WNBA trade deadline closes in
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW The Liberty's bid to repeat as WNBA champions is nearing the finish line. With 15 games left in the regular season, beginning Friday night against the Wings in Dallas, the Liberty are currently in second place as the trade deadline cutoff approaches on Thursday at 3 p.m. Carrying a 19-10 record to the Lone Star State and looking poised to make another run, New York is not expected to make another move after adding two players — Emma Meesseman and Steph Talbot — over the past couple of weeks to bring their roster to a full 12. Thursday is expected to be a busier deadline day than normal for the WNBA. Amid anticipation of a new collective bargaining agreement, many players, including some veterans, signed one-year deals ahead of the 2025 season. Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb is not expected to make any other moves before Thursday's WNBA trade deadline. Michelle Farsi / New York Post These players are now able to negotiate more lucrative deals under the expectation that salaries will increase as part of the new CBA. The current CBA is set to expire on Oct. 31, 2025, and the new one is projected to take effect in 2026. Two of the top three contenders in the Western Conference, the Lynx and the Storm, made trades this past week to improve their rosters.

5 things to watch for during Week 1 of NFL preseason
5 things to watch for during Week 1 of NFL preseason | A to Z Sports NFL Newsletter originally appeared on A to Z Sports. SUBSCRIBE to our emails here. 5 things to watch for during Week 1 of NFL preseason The Hall of Fame Game notwithstanding, Week 1 of the NFL preseason begins on Thursday. We will get our first look at the 2025 NFL Draft class in game action, as well as free agents who changed teams during the offseason. Here are our top five things to watch for during this weekend's slate. Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter playing both sides of the ball: Hunter is one of the most hyped-up rookies in recent memory, thanks to his expected attempt to play both offense and defense. Jacksonville has listed him as a starting WR and a second-string CB on its depth chart. It will be interesting to see how the Jaguars' coaching staff manages his workload. How he performs at each position will likely dictate where he gets the most snaps. Debut of Titans QB Cam Ward: Tennessee used their No. 1 overall draft pick on Ward, committing to him as the future of the franchise. He's had his ups and downs throughout training camp, but how he performs in preseason will give us a more accurate look at his abilities. Equally as important as making good throws will be Ward's command of the offense, such as getting in and out of the huddle quickly, making sure guys are lined up properly, and reading defenses. QB Aaron Rodgers debut with Steelers: The longest saga of the offseason was the back-and-forth between Rodgers and Pittsburgh. The 21-year-veteran finally signed with the franchise, and expects this season to be his last. The big question surrounding Rodgers is whether or not he has enough left in the tank to lead the Steelers to the Super Bowl. We're a long way from that, but a positive start in his debut would ease some nerves. Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler compete for Saints starting QB role: New Orleans is not tipping its hand as to who has the advantage, and has even promoted Jake Haener as in the mix. Haener is likely a longshot, but Shough and Rattler seem to be on pretty even footing. Whoever plays best in their game on Sunday should get the upper hand, but the battle could last through all three preseason matchups. Ben Johnson leads new-look Bears offense: Johnson was the hot name in this year's head coaching cycle, and he is now paired up with 2024 No. 1 overall pick QB Caleb Williams. Chicago remodeled its offensive line, and added a couple of new rookie weapons in tight end Colston Loveland and WR Luther Burden III. The pressure will be on Johnson to succeed quickly and get the most out of Williams and the Bears' offense. ESPN purchases NFL Network — what to know The NFL and ESPN have announced a non-binding agreement that ESPN will acquire NFL Network and certain other media assets owned and controlled by the NFL, including RedZone and NFL Fantasy. In exchange, the NFL will receive a 10 percent equity stake in ESPN. More terms of the agreement: NFL Network will be owned and operated by ESPN and fully integrated into ESPN DTC. NFL RedZone will still be available on NFL+, but ESPN will distribute it on traditional television. NFL Fantasy Football will merge with ESPN Fantasy Football. ESPN's platforms will license an additional three NFL games per season to air on NFL Network. The NFL will continue to own and operate its retained media businesses such as NFL Films, NFL+, the NFL Podcast Network, the NFL FAST Channel, and the official sites for the league's 32 clubs. This story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
