As the Indiana Fever (4-5) prepare for their Saturday clash against the New York Liberty (9-0), the team provided an update on Thursday regarding the injury statuses of both Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
While there was the possibility both could have returned for Tuesday night's game at Atlanta, the safer option for the team moving forward was to use the three off days between games as added recovery for the two pivotal Fever players.
In her Thursday media availability, Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters that both guards had limited practice time but mentioned that the two have started to run up and down the floor to get back in the game rhythm.
"I mean, I think the biggest thing is just understanding that we have the opportunity to grow through some circumstances that might not be ideal. You know, the ball's getting in other people's hands outside of Caitlin [Clark], on the floor, and how are we able to get one another in position to be successful? You know, players are getting minutes that might have been limited with both Caitlin and Sophie out," White said.
If Clark and Cunningham are able to play on Saturday against the undefeated Liberty, the addition will bring a much-needed offensive boost to a Fever team that has been a bit out of sorts during the injury absence.
Saturday's game against New York will be a 2 p.m. CT tipoff from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and the high-profile matchup will be broadcast on ABC.

Advertisement On Friday, Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters that Clark was cleared to return against the Liberty on Saturday. "She's working her way back," White told reporters. "I felt like today was better than yesterday in terms of just movement, balance and feeling like she's getting back into rhythm, timing, all those things. As long as we don't have any regression, she's going to be ready to roll." The Fever are expecting Cunningham back as well. "I think she's going to be ready to roll as well," White said. "Sophie looked really good. Her timing was good. Getting back into game rhythm and timing is the most important thing, and then being able to change directions. So they both look good."

Will Caitlin Clark play for Indiana Fever against New York Liberty, 6/14/25? Prediction, TV
The Indiana Fever try to hand the New York Liberty their first loss of the season on Saturday, June 14. Indiana (4-5), which has been without Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham for several games, struggled mightily in the second half in a loss earlier in the week to the Atlanta Dream. Indiana is 2-3 without Clark in the lineup. On Friday, June 13, the Fever announced Clark would return to the lineup against the Liberty. Clark had been out for about three weeks after suffering a quad strain on May 24 against the Liberty. In addition to Clark, Sophie Cunningham will also return after reaggravating a right ankle injury on May 30. DeWanna Bonner, however, will not be with the Fever for Saturday's game because of personal reasons. New York (9-0) is the WNBA's lone undefeated team, winning by an average of 19 points and leading the league in offensive and defensive rating, field goal shooting, 3-pointers made, steals and blocked shots. They edged the Fever 90-88 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 24. Chloe Peterson is your best Fever follow, and sign up for our Caitlin Clark Fever newsletter. 3 p.m. ET Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Chloe Peterson, IndyStar: Liberty 84, Fever 72 "The Fever are getting a significant boost with Caitlin Clark's return to the floor on Saturday, but I don't think it will be enough for them to take down the 9-0 Liberty. "Clark will be playing a game for the first time in about three weeks after she suffered a quad strain on May 24. It will definitely help with the Fever's up-tempo pace and scoring in transition, but don't expect Clark to be perfect off the bat -- she will need to "shake off a little rust" as she said so herself. "New York, however, has looked like how reigning champions should. They're undefeated nearly a quarter into the season and blew out the Connecticut Sun by 48 points last week. "The Liberty are shorthanded, as well, with Jonquel Jones questionable because of an ankle injury and Leonie Fiebich out because of German National Team commitments. Still, New York has a lot of firepower with Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Natasha Cloud." Fever: DeWanna Bonner (personal reasons) is not with the team. Liberty: Leonie Fiebich has joined the German national team; Jonquel Jones (ankle) is questionable. In four games this season, Caitlin Clark averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making 31.4% of her 3-pointers.
