The Indiana Fever have offered a positive update on Caitlin Clark amid her injury spell.

The point guard remains sidelined with a groin injury that ruled her out of the 2025 All-Star Game last weekend, having aggravated a previous injury in a fixture against the Connecticut Sun on July 15.

She is set to miss a third straight game as a result, but the Fever are optimistic that she will return soon, having revealed in a Thursday update that she underwent evaluations this week and nothing concerning came up.

“Caitlin Clark underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week, which confirmed that no additional injuries or damage were discovered,” the team said in a statement via their official website.

The Fever relayed that the second-year player will “continue working with the medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being.” 

“There is no timetable available for her return,” they added.

 

Clark has played just 13 out of a possible 24 games for Indiana this season and is having difficulty with soft tissue injuries, including quad and groin issues.

The latter forced her to pull out of the All-Star Game, which was held in Indianapolis last weekend.

On a more positive note, the former Iowa star could return on Sunday, when the Fever will host the Chicago Sky and her rival Angel Reese. Things got feisty between the two sophomores during their first meeting this season, with Angel reacting violently after Clark hit her with a hard foul in their opener.

The Fever, meanwhile, are clinging on to a playoff spot with a 12-12 record and will hope to have Caitlin healthy for the remainder of the season once she does return.

Head coach Stephanie White noted that the team was taking a cautious approach, pointing out that soft tissue injuries need extended periods of rest to heal properly.

However, it would be quite a treat if she could return on Sunday.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
