Basketball superstar Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever announced she\u2019s out for the rest of the WNBA season because of a groin injury.<\/p>\n

Clark has been sidelined since she injured her right groin<\/a> during a game against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. She also sustained a bone bruise during her recovery process, the Fever said.<\/p>\n

The injury caused her to pull out of the All-Star Game<\/a> later that month.<\/p>\n

“Disappointed isn\u2019t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling,” Clark, 23, wrote on social media Thursday.<\/p>\n

“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,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

“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,” she continued. “The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective.”<\/p>\n

Clark said she remains “so proud” of her team, which “has only gotten stronger through adversity this year.”<\/p>\n

“Now it\u2019s time to close out the season and claim our spot in the Playoffs,” she concluded her message.<\/p>\n

Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Amber Cox said that the Fever continues to work with Clark and that her \u201clong-term health and well-being remains our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

\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 Cox said in a statement. \u201cWe are looking forward to having her back at full strength to start the 2026 season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fever shared her post on X, with a caption of three red hearts.<\/p>\n

Clark, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, has sustained several injuries this year, including an injury to her left groin and a left quad strain<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n

Clark, a two-time All-Star, has appeared in 13 games during the regular season. She has averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Basketball superstar Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever announced she\u2019s out for the rest of the WNBA season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-310486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
