C aitlin Clark missed her fifth consecutive game on Wednesday due to a right groin injury, but her teammates once again had her back. The Indiana Fever held off the Phoenix Mercury in a high-scoring affair at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 107-101, to extend their winning streak to three games.

Caitlin Clark Returns To Iowa After Missing 13th Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark has struggled to stay on the court for the Indiana Fever in 2025, but that has not stopped her from making a difference off the court — including a trip back to her hometown in Iowa on Monday.

Despite Clark being out, the Fever have remained afloat. Currently, they hold a 14-12 record and are trying to keep themselves within striking distance of the playoffs. While the fans and Indiana have been patient with Clark, she is facing major backlash after her latest off the court move.
