The Indiana Fever have suffered through a rough start to the 2025 WNBA season compared to what had been expected from them. Caitlin Clark has suffered the same fate thanks to multiple different injury issues.
Even now, Clark remains out due to injuring her groin once again just before the All-Star break. She has only played in 13 games this season of the 25 the Fever have played as a team.
As of right now, the team has not given any timetable for a potential return to the court form Clark.
In a recent statement from Indiana, it was revealed that the team has no timetable for Clark’s return and are fully focused on her long-term health.

“The team can confirm that no additional injuries or damage were discovered through the evaluations,” the statement read. “Clark will continue working with the Fever medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being. There is no timetable available for Clark’s return, and no additional details will be provided at this time. Any further updates will be shared as they become available.”
Despite there being no official timeline for Clark to return to the court, ESPN has revealed when it believes she’ll be back and playing for the Fever again.
On their WNBA injuries page, ESPN has listed August 12 as a potential return date for Clark. If that does end up becoming accurate, Clark would make her return against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings at home.
Throughout the 13 games she has been able to play this season, Clark has seen her numbers decrease. That should be expected though, as she has been playing through nagging injury issues.

In the 13 games she has played, Clark has averaged 16.5 points per game to go along with 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals. She has also shot 36.7 percent from the floor and has connected on 27.9 percent of her three-point attempts.
Obviously, it hasn’t been the MVP-caliber season that many fans and analysts were expecting from Clark. The hope is simply that she can get healthy and back on the court to help Indiana pursue a run in the playoffs.
Expect to hear more about the Fever superstar in the near future. For now, ESPN’s projected return date gives Indiana fans hope.
