Caitlin Clark: No Return Date to the Courts
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark does not have a set date for her return to the court, the team announced this Thursday.
The number one pick of the 2024 draft underwent new medical evaluations this week and will continue working with the Fever’s medical team in her recovery and rehabilitation. The team emphasized that “the priority is her long-term health and well-being.”
According to reports, the examinations revealed no further injuries or damage.
Clark hasn’t played since she injured her right groin on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun. Because of this, she withdrew from the WNBA All-Star weekend, where she had been selected as a starter and captain, also missing the three-point contest.
The 6-foot-tall center has been absent for 11 regular season games and the Commissioner’s Cup final, due to three inactive periods. Previously, he suffered injuries to his left quadriceps and left groin.
In the 13 games he has played this season, Clark averages 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds.
Without Clark, the Fever, considered WNBA title contenders at the beginning of the year, have achieved a 13-12 record and are in sixth place in the standings, following an 80-70 home victory over the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night.
