Caitlin Clark to miss the 2025 WNBA playoffs

After some tense stretch of games, the Indiana Fever are back in the playoffs for the second straight year. The Fever finished the regular season on a high note, beating the Minnesota Lynx 83-72 inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. They enter the playoffs with a record of 24-20.

However, the Fever are going to be without Caitlin Clark for the postseason. Clark is still recovering from a groin injury, which she suffered back on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun.

The Fever are currently the sixth seed heading into the playoffs, but that could still change. The Golden State Valkyries could send them to seventh place if they beat the Minnesota Lynx on their regular-season finale. As for their playoff matchup, the Fever are facing either the Las Vegas Aces or the Atlanta Dream in the first round.
