Fever post worst-timed team photo after Caitlin Clark disaster news

The official Indiana Fever social media accounts didn’t have the best timing with these posts.

The Indiana Fever official team social media accounts sent out a few fun photos of the players together as a team. The timing of it, though, was not great.

The team was hoping to get it’s superstar Caitlin Clark back this season in time for a playoff run, but it was announced she’s being shut down for the remainder of the season due to a lingering groin issue. Clark has only played in 13 total games this season and even missed the Al-Star game in Indianapolis where she was a captain. She was heartbroken over that and now this.

Now, Clark’s relegated to a cheerleader the rest of the way.

The season must go on, but the Fever posted team photos with Clark in uniform having a good time right after the heartbreaking announcement — and they did it with not one photo, but two.

Clark averaged 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game when she did play.

The Fever are 22-20 and are currently the 7th seed for the playoffs with two games to go.

The previous WNBA Rookie of the Year and two-time All-Star hopes to be back strong and healthy next season and looking like she did in the now outdated team photo of this season’s squad.
