When Caitlin Clark left the TD Garden court in tears, clutching her groin, the initial update was that her injury was day-to-day. Eighteen games later, fans are still waiting for news on her return. “That’s the hope … I think that the long term viewpoint of her health and wellness is the most important thing,” said coach Stephanie White when asked if Clark would return during the regular season.
The pattern with Caitlin Clark’s injury has been all too familiar — fans are left with half-baked updates. For weeks, Coach White has been delivering the same cautious message, while Clark has been limited to shooting drills and has yet to return to full team training. With just four games remaining in the regular season and playoff hopes hanging in the balance, it’s not just fans who are frustrated — analysts are growing increasingly concerned as well
In the latest episode of the Courtside Club, Rachel DeMita didn’t hold back in her criticism of the Fever. “I don’t know what else to call it at this point. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m so confused. Everyone’s so confused. But now everything that we’re hearing is that like she’s absolutely coming back. She’s coming back. She’s ramping up. She this and that. And then all of a sudden she has an ankle injury. But that had nothing to do with her timetable return, which how does an ankle injury when you’re ramping up not change your timetable for return?….It’s the reporting on it has been crazy. The fans don’t know what’s going on.”
