Exciting Caitlin Clark News Emerges During Indiana Fever Game

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Parker Johnson | Last updated Aug 3, 2025 5:57 PM ET

Injured superstar Caitlin Clark missed her 16th game of the 2025 WNBA season when the Indiana Fever visited the Seattle Storm on Sunday.

Clark, 23, is out with a right groin injury with "no timetable available" for her return. The last time she played was before the All-Star break on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun.

The Fever (16-12) have started to click without the 2024 Rookie of the Year, riding a four-game win streak heading into the clash against the Storm.

In Clark's absence, they have been led by All-Stars Kelsey Mitchell (19.9 points per game) and Aliyah Boston (15.5 points, 8.2 rebounds). Sophie Cunningham has found her shooting form, while midseason additions Aari McDonald and Chloe Bibby have fit into the lineup seamlessly.

Fans have still been tuning into Fever games consistently, and those who watched Sunday's action on ABC were the first to hear that Clark is going to be the next guest on Sue Bird's podcast, "Bird's Eye View."

Caitlin Clark and Sue Bird Reunited

The last time Clark and Bird were on air together was during the 2025 NCAA women's basketball championship game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and UConn Huskies — and there were plenty of memorable moments.

As the game got out of hand and Paige Bueckers closed in on her first national title with the Huskies, Clark opened up about countless topics over her 26-minute appearance on ESPN's alt-cast hosted by Bird and fellow UConn legend Diana Taurasi.

With Caitlin Clark on, Diana Taurasi tells her and Sue Bird how “amazing” it was to play her in the #WNBA last season.

“If you could play anyone in this new generation, I got to cross paths with Caitlin.”

Highlights included Clark's reaction to getting shredded in the offseason and her goal for 2025 that was so outlandish fans did not believe her.

If Clark's appearance on "Bird's Eye View" lives up to their last link-up, there is good reason for fans to be excited. New episodes of "Bird's Eye View" drop on Fridays.

Clark Joins the WNBA Podcast Boom

It's only right that Clark is getting on a podcast given what her Indiana teammates have been up to recently.

Fever guard Sydney Colson put out the first episode of her podcast "Unsupervised" on July 24.
Fever center Aliyah Boston and WNBA legend Candace Parker put out the first episode of their podcast "Post Moves" on Wednesday.
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and reality TV star West Wilson put out the first episode of their podcast "Show Me Something" on Wednesday.

Bird has been in the media game longer, but not by much. The first episode of her podcast came out on May 16, the first day of the 2025 WNBA season, and featured New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu.

GREAT CLIP

Kate Martin talks about the first time she heard they recruited Caitlin Clark.

“This girl thinks she’s gonna come in here and rule the world.”

“Then she came in and ruled the world.”
