Caitlin Clark was ruled out of the Fever’s road matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday, marking the eighth consecutive game she has missed due to a right groin injury suffered in the Fever’s 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15.

Despite not being on the court, she is still all about basketball, and she wants her teammates to be the exact same way.

Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham love to play the game, but also love spending time in their bikinis.

Before the Indiana Fever lost 100-91 to the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night, Caitlin Clark’s teammates decided to soak up the sun.

Leading up to the Fever-Sparks game, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham shared a video of her and Lexie Hull sporting bikinis while tanning by a pool.

Her TikTok post included this caption: “We are off to our game tonight. Convince us there’s a swimsuit brand that wants to partner with two Indiana Fever mermaids.”

Clark called out her teammates for tanning prior to tipoff.

“Swimsuit brands plz comment ‘focus on basketball,’” Clark wrote in response to Caitlin Cunningham’s TikTok post.

Caitlin Clark Has Missed A Disturbing Number of Games

Caitlin Clark was supposed to dominate her second season and have her name in the MVP running.

Instead, her sophomore year in the pros has been filled with injuries and missed games. The 23-year-old has missed eight straight games as she continues to recover from a re-aggravated groin injury.

Indiana head coach Stephanie White joined ESPN’s “NBA Today” program on Monday and was able to provide an update on the status of the Fever’s cornerstone superstar.

“It’s day-to-day right now,” White said.

“We’re really just putting no timetable on it. 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. We’re really slow rolling it, slow playing it this time. She tried to come back a couple of times and just had setbacks along the way. So the most important thing for us is Caitlin’s long-term health, getting her back to a hundred percent before we put her back on the floor.”
