Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss the rest of the 2025 season, the team announced on Thursday.
Clark’s second year in the WNBA has been injury riddled to say the least. But it was a groin injury that she suffered in the game before the All-Star break that ultimately cost her the rest of the 2025 season.

“Caitlin has worked so hard throughout this time, doing everything possible to recover and return to the court but, ultimately, time is not on our side,” Fever COO and GM Amber Cox said in a news release. “While we will continue working with Caitlin and provide her with every resource we have available, there is not enough time left in our season for her to safely return, and her long-term health and well-being remains our top priority.
“We are looking forward to having her back at full strength to start the 2026 season.”
