Former University of Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark has announced she will not return for the current WNBA season.
The Indiana Fever star has played in just 13 games this season due to multiple injuries. She wrote on social media Thursday night:
“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.”
The Fever currently sit in 8th place in the eight-team playoff race with a 21-20 record. The Los Angeles Sparks are one game back for the final playoff spot.
