The Indiana Fever’s 2025 campaign has been defined by Caitlin Clark’s absence. The rookie star has now missed more than 20 games with a lingering groin injury, and while Indiana briefly rallied with a five-game winning streak in late July, the team has dropped four of its last five and continues to struggle finding rhythm without her playmaking.

Early reports pegged August 12 as a potential return date, but that came and went with no sign of Clark. ESPN’s updated injury tracker now lists August 26 against the Seattle Storm as the most likely target, lining up with what many around the league have speculated — that the Fever’s late-August homestand could finally bring her back.

During Indiana’s August 12 broadcast, ESPN’s Ryan Ruocco noted that head coach Stephanie White expects Clark to return to practice after the Fever’s mid-August break. Clark has reportedly ramped up her on-court work, but will need several full practices before seeing game action. That makes the August 26 matchup — or possibly one of the games against Minnesota just prior — the date every Fever fan is circling.
