Fever Fans Outraged Over Team’s Latest Caitlin Clark Announcement
The Indiana Fever made an announcement about Caitlin Clark's playing status, and fans immediately vented their frustration.
Given she missed 31 of the team’s 44 games, it’s understandable that the Indiana Fever would want to be careful with star guard Caitlin Clark’s workload. Clark was limited to just 13 games last season while battling a hand, quad, and two separate groin injuries. So that might explain the head-scratching move the team made on Wednesday regarding Clark’s playing status.
“Fever guard Caitlin Clark will NOT play tonight vs Portland Fire. I’m told it’s part of a strategic management plan for the season. Tonight is the Fever’s fourth game in eight days,” Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files posted on X .
Fever fans were quick to hit the comment section to express their concern and frustration with Clark’s playing status, and the timing of which the announcement was made. Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever looks to pass during the game against the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto. com Arena on May 13, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
