Caitlin Clark's sophomore season in the WNBA came to an unceremonious close on Thursday night, when she announced that she will not return for the Fever's playoff push.
Clark, a two-time All-Star and the league's reigning Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined since July 13 as she deals with both groin and quad injuries. While Clark had advanced to non-contact and 5-on-0 drills during Indiana practice in recent days, the franchise ultimately decided to shut her down rather than rush her back for the postseason.
