By now, Indiana Fever fans have surely heard the brutal news regarding their beloved point guard, Caitlin Clark.

Clark made a post to her social media channels on the evening of September 4 that was captioned, "I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season. I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn’t a big enough word to describe how I am feeling. I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty. This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, there is good.

"The way the fans continued to show up for me, and for the Fever, brought me so much joy and important perspective. I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year. Now it’s time to close out the season and claim our spot in the Playoffs," it added.

Cox's sentiment about looking forward to having Clark back in 2026 speaks volumes, and is what many Fever fans are thinking as their heads hit the pillow on Thursday evening.
