In a significant blow to the Indiana Fever, star guard Caitlin Clark is sidelined with a left groin injury and will miss the upcoming matchup against the Sparks. The Fever announced this development just before their game on Thursday, June 26, 2025.
- Caitlin Clark out with left groin injury.
- All-Star point guard reported pain Wednesday night.
- Day-to-day treatment approach for Clark's recovery.
- Clark recently returned from quad injury.
- Fever signed Aari McDonald following injury.
- Clark averages 18.2 points, 8.9 assists this season.
Head coach Steph White revealed that Clark reported pain to the training staff and underwent an MRI. While the results remain undisclosed, White emphasized that Clark’s recovery will be assessed on a day-to-day basis. “C has shown that she is tough and she’s a quick healer,” White stated, leaving fans hopeful for her swift return.
Clark’s absence raises questions about the Fever’s ability to maintain momentum. With an average of 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and 5.0 rebounds this season, her contributions are vital. The Fever recently signed Aari McDonald to bolster their roster. Key developments include:
- Clark’s recent return from a quad injury that kept her out for five games.
- The Fever’s current record stands at 7-7, while the Sparks are struggling at 4-11.
- Clark’s shooting slump, particularly on the road, could affect team morale.
As the Fever prepare to face the Sparks, all eyes will be on their performance without Clark. Fans will be eager to see how the team adapts and whether they can secure a victory before heading to Dallas to face the Wings.
