The announcement came nearly two months after Clark sustained her groin injury on July 15.

The Fever’s medical staff remained cautious about long-term risks and ultimately decided it was best for Clark to prioritize her full health heading into 2026. Support for Clark poured in across the basketball world, highlighted by a message from LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers star commented on her Instagram post: “Minor setback for a MAJOR COMEBACK!! Rest up, get healthy and be YOU! 🙏🏾🫡👑”
