Caitlin Clark Returns to Indiana Fever Ahead of Rematch with Liberty

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Caitlin Clark is back on the court for the Indiana Fever after missing five games due to a quadriceps injury. Her return comes just hours before the Fever face the top-seeded New York Liberty in the Commissioner’s Cup on June 14, 2025.

The Fever announced Clark’s status after consulting with medical staff, who cleared her to play. Initially, she was expected to miss four games, but the team opted for extra caution to ensure her long-term health.

Her absence was felt not just by the Fever but also across the WNBA, as viewership of games dropped by 55% during her time on the sidelines. The league celebrated her return with a heartfelt message on social media: “The wait is over… Caitlin Clark is set to return.”

Her last performance before the injury was against the Liberty, where she scored 18 points and recorded 10 assists, but the Fever fell short, losing 90-88.

As Clark prepares to return, she aims to help propel her team forward in the playoffs. Winning matchups like this are key for building momentum as the Fever chase a deep playoff run.
