Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss her 12th consecutive game with a right groin injury Friday when her team takes on the Washington Mystics. Clark, who was injured late in the Fever's win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15, does not have an official return timeline. As of Monday, Clark had still not returned to practice.
