Terrible news, as misfortune keeps trailing star player Caitlin Clark. After the Indiana Fever shooting guard sustained a bone bruise on her left ankle during an individual training session in Phoenix on August 7, she made headlines once more. Clark has had difficulty achieving physical stability in her second WNBA season, despite the injury being deemed minor.
The Indianapolis Star reports that Clark has not played since July 15, and this recent setback caused her to miss the game against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, making it her 13th consecutive absence. In their next game, the Indiana team will face off at home against the Minnesota Lynx, who are currently leading the conference. Fans are uncertain about her readiness for this match.

“I’m done. I don’t think she’s coming back. If she does, it’ll be a nice surprise, but for now I’m not expecting anything,” one fan wrote. Others demanded clarity from the team and Clark herself about her actual health status, arguing that the ongoing hope for a return only leads to more disappointment.
