Caitlin Clark is undoubtedly one of the most popular figures in the WNBA. Ever since her debut in the league in 2024, the 23-year-old has garnered attention, headlines, and limelight like no one else. Clark has had a remarkable rookie season, where she averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game, and was named the Rookie of the Year. However, success comes at a cost, and it seems that the former Iowa star has been paying it ever since she played her first game.

Irrespective of her availability on the court, Clark makes headlines, and the recent social media buzz has been a solid testament to it. Clark had a perfect run coming into the 2025 season, which has been unfortunately reduced to just 13 games due to multiple leg injuries. At first, she missed three weeks of action due to a left quad strain. Later, a left groin injury sidelined her for two weeks, and now, she has been out of action due to a right groin injury.

Amidst her injury layoff, social media has once again started to buzz with rumors that the star WNBA player is set to leave the league. For the unversed, earlier this year, speculations of Clark exploring leagues such as Big3 made rounds. However, they turned out to be completely baseless and fake. But now that the internet is talking again, let’s get into the depth of the matter.

Is Caitlin Clark Leaving the WNBA?

No, Caitlin Clark isn’t leaving the WNBA. The fact that she has been out of action for a few games now must have been the reason behind these speculations. Notably, Clark suffered a groin injury during the Fever’s win over the Connecticut Sun on July 15. She underwent medical evaluations, and while no additional injuries or damage were found, there is no timeline for the return of the two-time All-Star.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for her to be back, but as per the Fever’s latest injury report, she would miss the Sunday afternoon game against the Seattle Storm. It would be the seventh straight and 16th regular-season game that she will miss this season. She was also sidelined for the Commissioner’s Cup game as well as the All-Star Game. Talking about Indiana, they are 8-5 with Clark this season, and 8-7 without her. While they are currently in the middle of a four-game winning streak, the 2012 champions await the return of their superstar soon.
