Indiana Fever’s Decision on Caitlin Clark Ahead of Mercury Game Leaves Fans Concerned

With just four games left, the Fever sit in the eighth playoff spot but will again be without Caitlin Clark against the Phoenix Mercury. The All-Star guard, out since before the break with a groin injury, hasn’t returned to practice, and the latest ruling only fueled frustration among fans demanding answers. Clark has played just 13 games this season despite averaging 16.5 points and 8.8 assists when healthy, leaving Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell to keep Indiana afloat. The silence around her recovery has fans restless—and the Fever’s playoff dreams hanging by a thread.
