Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss her 19th consecutive game with a right groin injury Tuesday when her team takes on DeWanna Bonner and the Phoenix Mercury .

Clark, who was injured late in the Fever's win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15, does not have an official return timeline. She also suffered a bone bruise on her left ankle during a workout on Aug. 7.
