Fever Announce Caitlin Clark's Status For 'Stranger Things' Game vs. Aces
Fever Announce Caitlin Clark's Status For 'Stranger Things' Game vs. Aces originally appeared on The Spun. The Indiana Fever are once again partnering with the hit show "Stranger Things" on themed uniforms for Thursday night's game vs. the Las Vegas Aces. But the biggest question is will Caitlin Clark even get to wear them? As the 23-year-old superstar continues to nurse the groin injury that kept her out of this year's All-Star festivities, it sounds like her absence from the Fever lineup is going to continue for at least another game. "No surprise, but Caitlin Clark (right groin) is officially ruled out for Thursday vs Aces," Indiana beat writer Scott Agness reported. Adding, "The team didn't practice today, but held film + treatment." The Fever first debuted the special edition uniforms referencing the Hawkins, IN-based sci-fi thriller back in 2021 and they've quickly become a favorite among fans. "This jersey represents the fierce spirit of our team and the fearless energy of Stranger Things – two forces that never back down," the team said in a statement. "As we celebrate our team and the cultural phenomenon that is Stranger Things, we're thrilled to bring back this awesome collaboration with Netflix." Indiana will reintroduce the jerseys for the first time this week before bringing them out again: July 30 vs. Phoenix August 9 vs. Chicago August 12 vs. Dallas August 26 vs. Seattle August 29 at Los Angeles September 9 vs. Minnesota The fifth and final season of "Stranger Things" begins with four episodes this November before three more premiere on Christmas Day and the finale releases on Dec.

Fever star Caitlin Clark remains out vs. Sparks
The post Fever star Caitlin Clark remains out vs. Sparks appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever came into this season with very high expectations, but the year hasn't looked anything like they would have hoped so far. A lot of that comes down to injuries, specifically multiple ailments that star guard Caitlin Clark has been dealing with this season. Advertisement Clark missed five games with a quad injury earlier this season before returning in a massive performance against the defending champion New York Liberty, but another injury wasn't far around the corner. Recently, Clark has been dealing with a nagging groin injury and has been sidelined. Clark will miss her fifth straight game due to the injury on Saturday against the Los Angeles Sparks, according to Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files. Indiana will certainly find it difficult to topple a Sparks squad that has been finding its groove lately with Clark out of the lineup, but that doesn't mean that it isn't capable of getting another win. In fact, the Fever have won their last three games, all with their superstar clapping it up on the sidelines. The most notable of those victories came on July 1 in the Commissioner's Cup title game against the Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx have been one of the best teams in basketball so far this season and were a massive favorite coming into that game against the Fever without Clark, but Indiana still came away with the trophy. Advertisement The Fever's calling card without Clark on the court has become their defense, which has been one of the best in basketball in recent weeks. They have given up less than 60 points in each of the last two games against two very good offenses in the Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces. Still, Stephanie White and company will want to get Clark back on the court as soon as they can. The Fever know that in order to reach their goals and contend for a WNBA Championship this season, they need the former Iowa superstar running the show and operating at full capacity. If they can sprinkle Clark back into the lineup while maintaining the gritty defensive identity that they have built without her, the Fever will be a force to be reckoned with over the second half of the season.
