Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have suffered through a rough 2025 WNBA season. At the beginning of the year, they were expected to be a championship contender. That has not been the case.
With just seven games remaining in the season, the Fever hold a 19-18 record. As for Clark, she has only been able to play in 13 of those games.
Even though Indiana is still the No. 8 ranked team in the WNBA, recent days have not been kind to the team. Over their last eight games, the Fever have gone just 2-6. They have been sliding down in the standings during that time period.
Lately, Clark has been missing time due to a groin injury. Unfortunately, that is not going to change when Indiana takes on the Seattle Storm on Tuesday night.

As shared by Tony East of Forbes, the Fever have ruled Clark out for that game. In addition, Indiana will be without Chloe Bibby as well and the other three players who are dealing with season-ending injuries.
While there is still hope that she will return at some point this season, there has been no timetable offered. The Fever are simply having to wait and see when she’s ready to return to the court.
All season long, Clark has been banged up and dealing with injuries. Even when she has played, she has come up well short of being the MVP candidate that many thought she would be.
Throughout the 13 games she has played, Clark has averaged just 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game, while also shooting 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from three-point range.
Despite all of the bad that has been going on for the superstar guard, Clark had some big news drop on Monday. Clark is officially a Nike athlete and her new logo has been revealed.

Hopefully, her 2025 season is not lost. She may not be playing against the Storm, but there are still six other games after that one on the schedule.
If Clark is able to return, perhaps the Fever could sneak into the playoff picture. Should they be able to make that happen and Clark is at full health, Indiana could still be a team that makes some noise in the postseason.
