The injury forced Clark to miss All-Star weekend and now continues to impact Indiana’s push for playoff positioning. The Fever sit at 12-12 and are clinging to the middle of the WNBA postseason picture, but they’ve gone just 4-7 without Clark in the lineup this year, including a loss in the Commissioner’s Cup title game.

The Indiana Fever have had to make due without their superstar guard Caitlin Clark for 13 of their 23 games so far this season, a challenging fact of life that has hindered coach Stephanie White's team's potential.

The Indiana Fever guard was ruled out of the All-Star Game with a minor groin issue, and Aliyah Boston admitted there is a "different vibe" when the point guard is not in the lineup.
