Fever Star Caitlin Clark's Projected Return Date Revealed by ESPN

The Indiana Fever have experienced a disappointing start to the 2025 WNBA season, failing to meet expectations. Star player Caitlin Clark has similarly struggled, missing significant playing time due to multiple injuries.

Clark is currently sidelined after re-injuring her groin just before the All-Star break. She has only participated in 13 of the team's 25 games this season. The Fever organization has issued a statement confirming that no timetable exists for her return to the court, emphasizing their primary focus is on her long-term health and well-being. The statement clarified that evaluations revealed no additional injuries or damage beyond the known issue, and Clark will continue rehabilitation with the medical team. The team stated no further details would be provided at this time, with updates shared only as they become available.

Despite the lack of an official timeline, ESPN has projected a potential return date for Clark of August 12. If accurate, this would see her return in a home game against the Dallas Wings and Paige Bueckers.

Clark's performance in the 13 games she did play this season showed decreased statistics compared to expectations: averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game, while shooting 36.7% from the field and 27.9% from three-point range. The article acknowledges this has not been the MVP-level season many anticipated, attributing the dip to her playing through persistent injuries. The hope remains that Clark can recover fully and return to help the Fever make a playoff push.
