Caitlin Clark isn't especially close to coming back to the court anytime soon, Coach Stephanie White told reporters Monday.

White was asked if Clark had made any gains in terms of coming back to team practice — and, unfortunately, the answer wasn't one that fans want to hear.

"No return to practice. She's been able to get a little bit more in her full court running with her, all her body weight," White explained.

"It's really building up from doing minimal to then building some endurance to do longer periods of time. She's been able to do a little bit more on the court in terms of how she moves, but not into practice yet," she added.

Clark has suffered a series of injuries this season that have left her sidelined and Fever fans frustrated. Despite that, the team is performing well and are currently ranked fifth in the league – which puts them firmly in playoff contention.

The Fever will next face the Dallas Wings at home in Indianapolis on August 12 before hosting the Mystics three days later on the 15th.
