Caitlin Clark Receives Major Injury News Before Fever-Aces Matchup

The Indiana Fever's season has been disappointing, failing to meet expectations due to multiple factors, including Caitlin Clark's recurring injuries. After losing to the New York Liberty twice—once before and once after the All-Star break—the team holds a 12-12 record and no longer appears to be a championship contender without significant changes.

Caitlin Clark remains sidelined with a groin injury, with no confirmed return date. She has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Las Vegas Aces, as reported by Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files. The team did not practice, focusing instead on film review and treatment.

Clark has played only 13 of Indiana's 24 games this season, contributing to her diminished performance. In those appearances, she averaged 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. Her struggle to stay healthy has derailed her second WNBA season, which began with MVP expectations.
