Despite a WNBA playoff crunch the Fever's approach to Caitlin Clark’s recovery remains the same: They’re focused on her long-term health.

Hopefully, some good news comes out about Clark's progress and a potential return date. For now, ESPN's projected return date of August 26 is something to take note of as a possible glimmer of hope for Indiana. Next up for the Fever will be a Sunday afternoon matchup on the road against the Connecticut Sun.

Is Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell a WNBA MVP contender? Caitlin Clark thinks so. Her 38-point Sunday explosion had teammates raving.
