Overview
- Caitlin Clark has missed every game since July 15 with a groin injury and an ankle bone bruise, and the team has given no return timeline, according to a Fever spokesperson.
- The Fever sit eighth in the WNBA, 1.5 games ahead of the Sparks, with three regular-season games remaining.
- Indiana announced forward Chloe Bibby is out for the season with a knee injury and signed Bree Hall for the rest of the year, reshaping late-season depth.
- Backcourt options remain thin with Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, and Aari McDonald already out for the season, increasing pressure on the current rotation.
- Commentary has criticized vague injury updates and highlighted concerns for sportsbooks tied to team disclosures, as Clark was also reported to be the league’s top endorsement earner after new Stanley 1913 and Nike deals.
