Clark had to watch from the bench as she sat out for a sixth consecutive game with a re-aggravated groin injury. At this point, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year has no timetable for her return as the Fever take a very cautious approach on the health of their cornerstone superstar.

The first and only time Cailtin Clark and Paige Bueckers faced off at the WNBA level was on July 13. Clark led the Indiana Fever to a dominant 102-83 win over the Dallas Wings with a 14-point, 13-assist double-double, drawing first blood in what is expected to be a long and competitive rivalry between these two young stars.
