Caitlin Clark's team has been struggling to stay afloat in the race for the postseason. Over their last five games, the Fever have mustered up a 1-4 record. They have been quickly falling in the WNBA playoff standings.

Clark’s status remains critical to Indiana’s playoff hopes. The Fever enter Sunday’s game at 18-16, holding the seventh seed in the standings. With just a handful of games left, the margin for error is thin, and the team must maintain stability without their leading guard.

Caitlin Clark, who has been sidelined since July 15 with a right groin injury, did not travel with the Indiana Fever for Sunday's game at the Connecticut Sun.
