The recent groin injury suffered by Indiana Fever’s star guard Caitlin Clark has brought mixed outcomes for her team. After falling to the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday by a score of 85-75, the Fever bounced back less than 24 hours later with a resilient performance. On Friday afternoon, they returned to the win column by defeating Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings, 94-86.
The groin strain has sidelined Clark for two consecutive games, and although her return to action is not expected to happen immediately, the team is handling her recovery with caution to avoid aggravating the injury or risking further setbacks.

Caitlin Clark’s new role with the Indiana Fever
Understanding that every contribution counts-whether on the court or off-Caitlin Clark has embraced a new role during her temporary absence. Even while sidelined, she’s finding ways to remain valuable to her team.
From the bench, Clark was actively engaged during Friday’s matchup. In a moment that caught attention, she was seen distributing towels to her teammates as they gathered to receive instructions from head coach Stephanie White.
Clark made sure each of her teammates had what they needed and then joined them to listen closely to the strategic guidance being offered. Her body may be healing, but her leadership and presence are fully intact.
The Fever will need Clark for the challenges ahead
Indiana Fever’s next contest is a high-stakes one: a Commissioner’s Cup final matchup against Napheesa Collier and the Minnesota Lynx scheduled for Tuesday. Understandably, the Fever are hopeful they can have Caitlin Clark back in uniform and available for such a crucial game.
The numbers back it up: when Clark is on the floor, Indiana’s odds of winning rise significantly. Her playmaking ability, court vision, and scoring touch have been instrumental in lifting the Fever through tough moments this season. Beyond the stats, her competitive spirit sets a tone that permeates the rest of the roster.
Though her availability remains uncertain, the organization appears to be making the right call by not rushing her back. The long-term outlook is more important than a single appearance, and preserving Clark’s health is essential if the Fever want to make a serious postseason run.
Still, her presence-even in street clothes-is meaningful. It signals unity, commitment, and a deep understanding of the game that extends beyond individual accolades. Whether she’s hitting logo threes or handing out towels, Caitlin Clark continues to show why she’s one of the most impactful players in the league today.
Her return to the hardwood will be eagerly awaited-not just by Indiana fans, but by a growing national audience captivated by what she brings to the game each time she steps on the court.

2025 Week 7 NFL score predictions, bets, odds, picks today: Expert reveals exact scores for all 15 matchups
Through six weeks of the NFL season, it's hard to find a team who doesn't have a serious question mark. Two weeks ago, we would've been raving about the undefeated Eagles and Bills. Now both teams have lost two straight games. How about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, one of the preseason favorites? With Jackson having been out each of the last two weeks, Baltimore enters its bye week 1-5 and is in serious danger of missing the postseason. Even the three-time defending AFC champion Chiefs aren't immune. They sit 3-3 heading into a Week 7 home date with AFC rival Las Vegas, though Kansas City is the largest favorite of the week at -11.5.Which teams would you take today to make the Super Bowl? Before the contenders start to separate from the pretenders, unpredictability in the NFL will continue […]
NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 7
Aidan Hutchinson reclaims his No. 1 ranking: After a slow start to the season by his standards (two pressures), Hutchinson has been the league’s most productive pass rusher, generating 34 pressures and six sacks over the past five games. Warren Brinson impressed in his NFL debut: The Packers rookie logged an 80.6 PFF pass-rushing grade, the top mark among rookies, after generating two pressures and a 23.5% win rate in Green Bay's victory over the Bengals. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes We know that quarterback is the most important position on the field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer. Pressure disrupts timing, rhythm and accuracy, something only the elite quarterbacks can consistently overcome. Last season, 13 of the top 15 teams in PFF pass-rush grade had a winning record. In 2023, 15 of the top 16 teams […]
