The Indiana Fever have suffered through a rough season when it comes to superstar guard Caitlin Clark. She has struggled with injuries all season long and remains out due to her groin injury.
Despite not having their superstar player, the Fever have remained very competitive. In fact, they have won four straight games and now hold a 16-12 record.
So far this season, Indiana has remained a playoff contender. If Clark can get healthy, the Fever could still make a championship run. However, they need her back on the court to make that kind of a run.
As Clark’s groin injuries continues to nag her and force her to miss more time, fans have questioned whether or not she’ll be able to return this season. That remains to be seen.

Recently, Indiana teammate spoke out about Clark’s injury. She called the groin issue “weird” when describing it.
“It’s such, like, a weird injury,” Cunningham said. “She’s not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you’re out for another…So I think they’re trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn’t kind of have those little setbacks.”
Clark has only been able to play in 13 of the team’s 28 games this season. When she has played, the injuries have caused a clear issue for her and she hasn’t been able to find a rhythm.
During the 2025 season, Clark has averaged 16.5 points per game to go along with 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals. She has only shot 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from three-point range.
Those numbers clearly are not the kind of WNBA MVP production that many expected to see from the 23-year-old superstar.

Hopefully, Indiana’s patience pays off. The Fever are focused only on getting Clark back to fully health. Once she reaches that point, Clark will be back on the floor.
No one knows if that point will come this season, but Indiana and its fans are holding out hope that she can return in 2025.
Expect to hear more about Clark’s injury in the near future. For now, it’s a “weird” injury that has cost one of the most entertaining players in the WNBA far too many games.
