Caitlin Clark Injury and Impact on Fever Continue

Caitlin Clark, sidelined by a groin injury since mid-July, has missed much of her sophomore WNBA season with the Indiana Fever, appearing in only 13 games so far. During her absence, Clark remains a focal point for fans and the basketball community, engaging with supporters and NBA star Jalen Green during a recent Los Angeles visit. The Fever enjoyed a five-game winning streak without Clark but saw it end with a loss to the Sparks, prompting WNBA legend Candace Parker to clarify that their performance is due to others stepping up, not because the team is better without Clark. Players such as Natasha Howard, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Sophie Cunningham have all had pivotal roles in recent games. Clark's popularity and visible sideline presence continue to highlight her iconic status in women's basketball. Coaches and fans agree on the importance of ensuring her full recovery ahead of her expected mid-August return.
