The Fever (14-12) will look to win a third straight game to close out July when they host the Phoenix Mercury (16-9) on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana won 80-70 over Las Vegas last Thursday then beat the Sky 93-78 on the road in Chicago on Sunday. All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell has been on a tear this month for the Fever and dropped a season-high 35 points while going 12-for-19 from the field and 7-for-10 from 3-point range on Sunday. Mitchell is averaging 22.2 points over 10 games in July, the second-highest scoring average in the WNBA this month.

Is Caitlin Clark playing today? Injury status for Mercury vs. Fever

The Indiana Fever are riding a two-game win streak after defeating the Las Vegas Aces and Chicago Sky, but the Fever will face a major test on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury without All-Star guard Caitlin Clark.

Clark has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Mercury, marking the fifth consecutive game she's missed due to a right groin injury suffered in the Fever's win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15. Clark's medical evaluations confirmed there's "no additional injuries or damage," but the Fever said they will be cautious with Clark to ensure she's ready to go later in the season and in the playoffs.

Indiana Fever release Caitlin Clark injury report vs Phoenix Mercury

The Indiana Fever released their injury report for their Wednesday night contest against the Phoenix Mercury.

As expected, it doesn't include the news Fever fans or Iowa fans were hoping for. Indiana star point guard Caitlin Clark has been ruled out against the Phoenix Mercury with a right groin injury per the Indy Star's Chloe Peterson.

Clark's injury absence against the Mercury makes it 14 regular-season games Clark has missed this season and 15 games overall, including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final.

This latest injury has cost Clark five games. The 6-foot guard exited in the final minute of Indiana's 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15 and hasn't played since.
