Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark will miss Wednesday night’s game against the Portland Fire because of a back injury.
Clark Sidelined with Back Issue
The Fever announced Clark’s injury less than two hours before the game. She was not on Indiana’s injury report the previous day.
Clark had previously spoken about back issues this season. She mentioned that her back “gets out of line pretty quickly” following the Fever’s season-opening loss.
First Game Missed This Season
The star guard has not missed a game this season, after her 2025 campaign was cut short by injuries. This is her first missed game of the current season.
In four games, Clark is averaging 24.3 points, nine assists, five rebounds and one assist.
In Indiana’s win over Seattle on Sunday, she played 24 minutes, finishing with 21 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
