Caitlin Clark suffered a bone bruise on her left ankle during a workout this month. Clark has been rehabbing her ankle along with the right groin injury that has forced her to be out since before the All-Star break.

Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters on Sunday the "hope" is for Clark to return before the end of the regular season then added Wednesday: "Until she can get into practice and until you guys see her in practice, it's really status quo."

Clark has played in just 13 games this season, last appearing on July 15. Clark had never previously missed a game during her collegiate or WNBA career before then.

Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds this season.
