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.

Phillies slugger Nick Castellanos previously confirmed some details from the meeting in interviews with The Bandwagon and ESPN. Speaking before Philadelphia's game at the Chicago White Sox, Harper did not dispute the published descriptions of his confrontation with Manfred. 'I won't be getting into the details of what happened or how I felt or anything else like that,' Harper said. 'I don't think it does any good for anybody for that to happen. So, for me, I just, you know, trying to worry about baseball, trying to worry about everything in here.' Manfred met with the Phillies and Red Sox during their series last week in Philadelphia. The session with the Phillies lasted more than an hour. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Manfred spoke with the NL team about the media landscape and working together to grow the sport, according to the person with knowledge of the conversation. At some point, Harper told Manfred if he was there to talk about a salary cap, he could 'get the (expletive) out' of the clubhouse. Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and some players are concerned about a possible management push for a cap. A spokeswoman for the Major League Baseball Players Association declined comment on Monday night. Harper is a two-time NL MVP and one of the game's marquee names, making his conversation with Manfred more noteworthy. The eight-time All-Star agreed to a $330 million, 13-year deal with the Phillies in February 2019. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Obviously, I don't want that to happen in those meetings,' Harper said. 'I don't want those things to be out there. I think, you know, when we have meetings with the commissioner or anybody else that comes to our clubhouse, those are good meetings to have.' Manfred and some owners have cited payroll disparity as one of baseball's biggest problems, while at the same time MLB is working to address a revenue decline from regional sports networks. Unlike the NFL, NBA and NHL, baseball has never had a salary cap because its players staunchly oppose one. Manfred has been meeting with teams more often since he said in the aftermath of baseball's March 2022 labor agreement that he needed to work on his relationship with players. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'When I talk to the players, I don't try to convince them that a salary cap system would be a good thing,' Manfred said during the All-Star break. 'I identify a problem in the media business and explain to them that owners need to change to address that problem. I then identify a second problem that we need to work together and that is that there are fans in a lot of our markets who feel like we have a competitive balance problem.' Asked for his argument against a salary cap and why it's such an important issue for players, Harper responded: 'I don't want to get into details as of right now.' He also said he planned to remain vocal about labor issues behind closed doors — just as he has done in the past. 'I've talked labor and I've done it in a way that I don't need to talk to the media about it,' he said. 'I don't need it out there. It has nothing to do with media or anybody else. It's what we can as players and owners and everybody else can come together to try to make this game great.' MLB Golf Toronto & GTA Columnists World

Rockies pitcher Biembenido Brito and free agent outfielder Pablo Abad suspended for drug tests
NEW YORK (AP) — Colorado Rockies minor league pitcher Biembenido Brito was suspended for 60 games and free agent outfielder Pablo Abad for 56 on Monday by Major League Baseball following positive tests for performance-enhancing substances. Brito tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol and for Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic and masking agent. He was disciplined under the minor league drug program, the commissioner's office said. Abad tested positive for Stanozolol and was penalized under the drug program for minor league players assigned outside the U.S. and Canada. Brito, a 22-year-old right-hander, agreed to a minor league contract with Texas in 2021 that included a $10,000 signing bonus. He was released by the Rangers in July 2024 and signed with the Rockies on May 23. He was 1-2 with a 2.97 ERA in seven starts and nine relief appearances for the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Rockies, striking out 38 and walking 18 in 33 1/3 innings. Brito is 6-7 with a 5.94 ERA in 19 starts and 31 relief appearances over parts of four minor league seasons. Abad, 19, signed with Cincinnati in June 2023 for a $10,000 bonus and was released last November. He hit .121 with one homer and six RBIs in 36 games over two seasons in the Dominican Summer League. Abad's suspension will start when he signs with a major league organization. Eleven players have been suspended this year for positive tests, including nine under minor league programs. Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar was suspended for 80 games on March 31 and Philadelphia Phillies closer José Alvarado for 80 games on May 25 under the major league program. ___ AP MLB:
