WNBA star Caitlin Clark remains sidelined as the Indiana Fever prepare to face the Seattle Storm on Sunday, with growing concern about her extended absence. After winning WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024 and leading the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016, Clark’s sophomore campaign has been disrupted by injuries.

C aitlin Clark is not expected to suit up on Wednesday when the Indiana Fever travel to California for their road game against the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. That will mark the 23-year-old’s eighth straight game on the sidelines as she continues to recover from a re-aggravated groin injury.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White spoke to ESPN about the excessive physicality in the WNBA and why it's so extreme this season.
