Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Sidelined Indefinitely with Groin Injury

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has remained sidelined due to a right groin injury sustained in mid-July, with no timetable set for her return as the team prioritizes her long-term health. Clark, who has faced multiple injuries this season including a left quad strain and left groin injury, missed the WNBA All-Star Game and several subsequent Fever games, contributing to the team's struggles with a 4–7 record in her absence. Medical evaluations confirmed no additional damage, but Clark continues her recovery and rehabilitation under the team's medical staff. Her absence has impacted the Fever's playoff prospects, as they hold a slim lead for a postseason spot and lost recent games without her. The Fever have also debuted new themed jerseys and are preparing for upcoming matchups in larger arenas, where fan anticipation for Clark's return remains high. Possible return games could occur later in July, but the team remains cautious, emphasizing health over a rushed comeback.
