Caitlin Clark Injury Update: Fever star's return timeline remains uncertain despite favorable medical results

After missing the WNBA All-Star Game, and the Indiana Fever's showdown with the New York Liberty on Tuesday, Caitlin Clark won't be back in action tonight when the team takes on the Las Vegas Aces.

According to Front Office Sports' Annie Costabile, Clark underwent further medical evaluations this week, and while the exam reportedly went well, there's no timeline for her return.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, she wrote:

"Fever update on Caitlin Clark: Further medical evaluations earlier this week confirmed no additional injuries or damage were discovered. No timetable for her return. Per the team’s release she will continue working with the Fever’s medical staff on her recovery/rehab."

The team has been without Clark since July 15, when she logged 14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in an 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun.

After dealing with a quad injury early in the year, Clark has been battling a groin injury as of late. Between the two injuries, the 2024 Rookie of the Year has appeared in just 13 games so far this season.

Despite that, the Fever is sitting at .500 for the year with a record of 12-12 that sees the team in seventh place in the WNBA's power rankings.

Caitlin Clark's teammate fined $500 for criticizing officials in viral TikTok

While Caitlin Clark has only played in 13 games so far this season, the 2024 Rookie of the Year has had her fair share of back-and-forths with referees.

Earlier in the week, Caitlin Clark's teammate, Sophie Cunningham, posted a TikTok where she was seen mouthing the words to a Sabrina Carpenter song:

"Stupid! Or is it ... slow?"

Over the video, Cunningham posted: "@ some refs", earning her a $500 fine from the W.

After getting fined, Cunningham criticized the WNBA on X:

"I got fined $500 for this TikTok idk why this is funny to me… like ok you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now"

So far, Cunningham hasn't been fined again for her follow-up; however, some fans in the replies section of her post have made it clear that they're willing to donate to pay the fine if necessary.

This season, Cunningham has averaged 7.3 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 43.1% from the floor and 40.0% from beyond the arc.

In Tuesday's loss to the New York Liberty, she dropped 15 points, her second-highest scoring total of the season, on an impressive 5-8 night from 3-point land.
