Caitlin Clark in race against time for Angel Reese clash that could lead to $500k prize

The Indiana Fever are facing a challenging start to their 2025 WNBA season, with a 2-4 record and three consecutive losses. Compounding their struggles is the injury of star player Caitlin Clark, who is sidelined for at least two weeks due to a quad strain. Her earliest possible return could be against the New York Liberty, though a later return against the Atlanta Dream is more likely. Despite a promising offseason rebuild aimed at making them title contenders, the Fever currently rank near the bottom of the league. Frustrated fans have targeted head coach Stephanie White, who is only six games into her tenure, blaming her for the team’s underperformance and calling for her dismissal on social media. Critics argue that the team’s issues go beyond Clark’s absence and reflect poor coaching decisions. The Fever’s upcoming games against the Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky offer a chance to improve their standing before Clark’s return.
