Caitlin Clark Out for Rest of Fever Season Due to Injury
BREAKING: Basketball sensation Caitlin Clark will miss the remainder of the WNBA season due to a groin injury, as officially announced by the Indiana Fever today. This devastating news comes after Clark suffered a right groin injury during a game against the Connecticut Sun on July 15, 2023.
Clark, who has been sidelined since the injury, also faced a bone bruise during her recovery, prompting her withdrawal from the All-Star Game later that month. In an emotional message shared on social media, the 23-year-old point guard expressed her deep disappointment: “Disappointed isn’t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling,” she wrote.
Clark had hoped for a different outcome, spending countless hours in the gym with the goal of returning to the court. “I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty. This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good,” she continued, highlighting the unwavering support from fans. “I am so proud of my team, which has only gotten stronger through adversity this year.”
The Fever’s Chief Operating Officer and General Manager, Amber Cox, emphasized the team’s commitment to Clark’s health: “Caitlin has worked so hard throughout this time, doing everything possible to recover and return to the court but, ultimately, time is not on our side. We are looking forward to having her back at full strength to start the 2026 season.”
Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year and a two-time All-Star, has played in only 13 games this season, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game. Her earlier injuries included issues with her left groin and a left quad strain, highlighting a challenging season for the rising star.
The Fever shared Clark’s heartfelt message on social media, accompanied by a caption of three red hearts, demonstrating the team’s solidarity. As the Fever push forward to secure a playoff position, Clark’s absence will be felt both on and off the court.
This breaking news is significant not only for Fever fans but for the entire WNBA community, as Clark’s talent and resilience have inspired many. With the playoffs approaching, all eyes will be on the team as they strive to honor her commitment and make a strong finish to the season.
Stay tuned for more updates on Clark’s recovery and the Fever’s performance as they navigate the remainder of the season without their star player.
