INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (KCRG) – Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark announced on social media Thursday that she will miss the rest of the 2025 WNBA season. Clark played in just 13 games this season, last suiting up on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun. She has battled groin injuries in both legs and also missed time with a left quad injury.

In her statement on the social media site “X,” Clark said “I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season. I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn’t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling. I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty. This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good. The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year. Now it’s time to close out the season and claim our spot in the Playoffs.”

The former Hawkeye averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and five rebounds per game this season. Indiana sits at 21-20 on the season and third in the Eastern Conference.
