Caitlin Clark’s season is over. The Indiana Fever confirmed on Thursday night what many suspected, when the 2024 rookie of the year announced on social media that she would not be returning this year from the groin injury that has limited her to 13 games.

“I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season,” she wrote. “Disappointed isn’t a big enough word … This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good. The way the fans continued to show up … brought me so much joy and perspective.”
