"I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn't a big enough word to describe how I am feeling. 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. The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective."
"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, Fever COO and GM Amber Cox said in a statement. While we will continue working with Caitlin and provide her with every resource we have available, there is not enough time left in our season for her to safely return, and her long-term health and well-being remains our top priority."
"The former Iowa star averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 13 games in her second season in the WNBA. The 2024 Rookie of the Year had been trying to get back to help her team reach the postseason for a second straight year. She participated in full-court drills without defense during a shootaround before the Fever faced the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday night."
Caitlin Clark will miss the remainder of the Indiana Fever season because of a right groin injury and a subsequent bone bruise sustained late in a July 15 game against the Connecticut Sun. Clark attempted rehabilitation and participated in non-contact full-court drills, but contact work remained limited and a safe return within the season was not possible. The former Iowa star averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 13 games during her second WNBA season. Fever leadership emphasized Clark's hard work, prioritized her long-term health, and indicated plans to have her back at full strength for the 2026 season. Indiana sits near the playoff cutoff.
