Caitlin Clark cannot catch a break in her second WNBA season.

On the heels of her boyfriend revealing the death of his grandmother, news came out this week that the Indiana Fever guard suffered a bone bruise while doing an individual workout in Phoenix.

Clark has not played for the Indiana Fever since suffering a groin injury on July 15. Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, has been hampered by injuries during her sophomore campaign.

Earlier this month, Indiana head coach Stephanie White joined ESPN’s “NBA Today” program and stated, “It’s day-to-day right now,” when asked about her status going forward.

Well, things seemingly went from bad to worse during that same week.

According to The Indianapolis Star, Caitlin Clark, who last suited up for the Fever on July 15, suffered a mild bone bruise in her left ankle. Fortunately for Clark, the injury’s minor nature did not threaten to compound the rehabilitation she had undergone.

 

Clark tweaked her ankle the same day the team lost guards Sydney Colson to an AGC tear and Aari McDonald to a broken right foot. Those were season-ending injuries.

Less than two weeks later, the Fever also lost guard Sophie Cunningham to an MCL tear for the rest of the year, further depleting the team’s backcourt.

Caitlin Clark’s Consecutive Games Missed Continues

Caitlin Clark last played in a WNBA game on July 15, when she suffered a right groin injury late in a road win over the Connecticut Sun.

Since then, she has lost three teammates to season-ending injuries.

Clark is set to miss her 14th game in a row on Friday when the Fever hosts the Minnesota Lynx. The team is currently 19-16. There are just nine more regular-season games to play before the start of the playoffs.

As of right now, the Fever are in the playoff running, but how long can they continue to keep their heads above water while missing multiple players and their superstar, Caitlin Clark?

Clark has made only 13 appearances during the 2025 campaign, averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.

According to ESPN, she also averages 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game.
