The Indiana Fever thought Caitlin Clark’s return might solve their wild first-half ride. They were getting healthy, beating good teams and starting to meet expectations.

Arguably the biggest storyline to come out of this year's WNBA All-Star weekend was the players' empowering T-shirt demonstration, with which they sent a direct message to the league: "Pay us what you owe us.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is dealing with her third injury of the year. It sidelined her from the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday. She was named a captain after receiving the most votes of any player in the league, followed by Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier.

The Indiana Fever ended the first half of the WNBA season with a visit to play the New York Liberty, and that's how they start the second half. The Fever (12-11) face a familiar issue, as Caitlin Clark will miss the game as she considers how to deal with her latest injury.

Clark discussed the contrast she feels between social media criticism and real-world support on an episode of "A Touch More" with Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe.

During a recent appearance on “A Touch More,” the podcast hosted by legends Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, Clark opened up about her frustrations with the calls, or lack thereof, she’s received so far in her two seasons with the Indiana Fever.

While Caitlin Clark was unable to play in the WNBA All-Star Game this past weekend, she did have a lot of fun cheering on her teammates and taking in everything that had to do with the Fever playing host to the best players in the game.
