\u201cCaitlin has worked so hard throughout this time, doing everything possible to recover and return to the court but, ultimately, time is not on our side,\u201d Indiana Fever COO GM Amber Cox said in a statement Thursday. \u201cWhile we will continue working with Caitlin and provide her with every resource we have available, there is not enough time left in our season for her to safely return, and her long-term health and well-being remains our top priority. <\/p>\n
