**Caitlin Clark to Miss Remainder of 2025 WNBA Season Due to Injury**
Caitlin Clark, star player for the Indiana Fever, will not return for the remainder of the 2025 WNBA season, as announced by the team on Thursday. Clark’s second season has been marred by injuries, culminating in a groin injury sustained just before the All-Star break, which has now sidelined her for the rest of the year.
Amber Cox, the Fever’s COO and General Manager, expressed the team’s commitment to Clark’s recovery in a recent statement. “Caitlin has worked tirelessly to recover and return to the court, but unfortunately, time is not on our side,” she said. “While we will continue to support her with all available resources, her long-term health is our top priority. We look forward to having her back at full strength for the 2026 season.”
In a heartfelt message to her followers on social media, Clark shared her disappointment. “I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season,” she wrote. “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 supported me through this 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 perspective.”
Clark’s injury woes included a bone bruise that occurred late in her recovery process. Although she participated in shootarounds, she was unable to engage in full-contact practices with her teammates. This season, she played only 13 games, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and five rebounds over 31.1 minutes per game. Earlier in the season, she also dealt with a quad strain.
The Fever have faced numerous injuries throughout the season, impacting their overall performance. As the team looks to close out the season, they remain focused on securing a playoff spot.
