Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Misses 14th Game Amid Multiple Injuries

Indiana Fever's star guard Caitlin Clark has been sidelined since July 15 due to a right groin injury, compounded by a recent mild bone bruise on her left ankle sustained on August 7. Despite the minor ankle issue not affecting her rehabilitation timeline, Clark has missed 22 games this season and has not participated in recent practices, with no clear timetable set for her return. The Fever have also suffered season-ending injuries to key teammates Sydney Colson, Sophie Cunningham, and Aari McDonald, significantly impacting the team's depth. Head coach Stephanie White and the team remain hopeful that Clark can return for some of the final regular-season games, but emphasize that her return depends on her readiness to practice. Clark's absence has challenged the Fever's playoff push, yet the team has managed to maintain a competitive position, with players like Kelsey Mitchell affirming Clark's continued presence and influence. Fans and media alike are seeking more clarity on Clark's recovery and potential comeback.
