THERE is still no timeline on a return to play for Caitlin Clark.
The Indiana Fever superstar has been sidelined for more than half the season and will continue to sit on the bench.

Clark missed her eighth consecutive game on Tuesday as she continues to rehab from a groin injury.
It is the third injury she sustained this season, but by far the longest she’s been out of play.
Clark last played on July 15, and there is still no word on when she could return.
According to head coach Stephanie White, the situation is still day-to-day.
“It’s day-to-day right now, we’re putting no timetable on it,” White said.
“[She is] going through the rehab process, and then we want to reintegrate her from a strength and conditioning standpoint and then get her back to basketball activities.
“So we’re taking it one day at a time, really slow rolling it, slow playing it this time…
“The most important thing for us is Caitlin’s long-term health and getting her back to 100% before we put her back on the floor.”
Clark isn’t used to missing time, as she was completely healthy all through college and in her rookie season.
She spoke about that struggle in an interview during the WNBA All-Star Weekend.
“This is the first time I haven’t felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that,” Clark told Glamour.
“Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind — it’s been a journey learning about that.”
Even when she was on the court this season, Clark struggled to find her form.
Many of her stats regressed from her Rookie of the Year season.
Clark was averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game.

More worrying though, was that her shooting percentage was just 36.7 percent.
Clark only shot 27.9 percent from three-point range too.
The Fever are playing good basketball in Clark’s absence, winning five of the eight games she’s missed due to this injury.
However, they would love to have her back as they push for a higher seed in the playoffs.
