53 percent.

It’s a tough blow for fans of the WNBA and Amazon Prime Video as Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever’s star player, is sidelined indefinitely with a groin injury. This comes at a particularly bad time as Prime Video was gearing up to livestream the Fever’s game against the Sparks, part of the impressive lineup of 20 WNBA games they planned to stream this season.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Ms. Clark has had to sit out due to injury. She missed five games just last month with a quad injury, during which national TV viewership of the WNBA dropped significantly. With her being out again, it’s a tough situation for the league and its new network partners.

Fans were eagerly awaiting the matchup between the Fever and the Sparks, two potential playoff contenders. However, with Ms. Clark on the sidelines, it’s uncertain when she will return to the court. Groin injuries can be tricky, and rushing back too soon could jeopardize the entire season.

Despite facing adversity, including Ms. Clark’s injuries and the departure of DeWanna Bonner from the team, the Fever have shown resilience. They are determined to push forward and continue to compete at a high level. With Ms. Clark’s uncertain timeline for return, the team will need to regroup and focus on the games ahead, including matchups against the Lynx and the Aces.

It’s a challenging time for both the Indiana Fever and their fans, but with determination and perseverance, they will navigate through this rough patch and come out stronger on the other side. Stay tuned for updates on Ms. Clark’s recovery and the Fever’s upcoming games.
