Clark has been out for nearly two weeks now, although she is set to be re-evaluated this weekend. Her absence has been deeply felt by the Fever, who have only won once in the three games she has missed.
The 23-year-old guard averaged 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game for Indiana prior to her injury.
While she's sidelined, though, Clark has been showing her support for the team by joining them at practices and sitting on the sidelines during games. She has also stayed largely active on social media, joking with her teammates, cheering them on and generally just having fun.

On Friday, Clark caught the attention of many once again after the Fever featured her in a "Get To Know" post. Aside from revealing her favorite actor, animal, emoji and even condiment, she also mentioned her top movie choice.

Clark revealed that she loves the movie "Parent Trap," prompting many to comment and approve her pick. However, several others couldn't help but ask which specific "Parent Trap" movie she's referring to.
After all, prior to the 1998 "Parent Trap" movie featuring Lindsay Lohan, there was another "The Parent Trap" movie from 1961 featuring Hayley Mills. The older version actually spawned a film series.
"OG Parent Trap or the Lindsay Lohan one?" a fan wrote. Another one asked, "Wait, but which parent trap though? Lindsay Lohan?"
A commenter added, "@caitlinclark22 - the original or the Lohan version?"

"Wait which parent trap??" a poster further stated.
A social media user remarked, "@caitlinclark22 the old parent trap or newer version?"
"Which parent trap? Hailey Mills or LL?" a sixth supporter inquired.
It's unclear if Clark will ever answer the fans' questions, although she still has some time to engage with her followers while she nurses her injury.

Heidi Stevens: After a child leaves the nest, you get the privilege of parenting the new version of them
My friend Jason is getting ready to drop off his daughter, his firstborn child, at college. And by 'getting ready,' I mean crying himself to sleep at night and asking strangers what to do. Normal. If there's another way to do it, I certainly don't know it. 'I feel like the dad in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,'' he texted me the other day. 'WHY YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME?!?!?!?' Even though, of course, he wants her to leave him. Even though, of course, he wants her to want to leave him. 'It's an odd feeling when your heart is simultaneously swelling with pride,' he texted, 'and also being ripped out of your chest.' I call that feeling parenting. You meet your child for the first time and suddenly the world is absolutely beautiful and mind-blowing and magical and your heart is exploding with love and gratitude and awe. And also, at the exact same moment, your heart is breaking in half because one day, lots of days, actually, your child is going to go out and enjoy that absolutely beautiful, mind-blowing, magical world. Without you. What a terrible system. Who thought of this? 'Several people have told us, 'You're not supposed to let her see you cry. Don't cry until after you leave,'' Jason texted. Nonsense, I texted back. Cry your eyes out in front of her if you want to. It's OK to let her see that your world changed forever the day she was born and your world changed forever the day she went to kindergarten and camp and prom and that one party but all those times she came back to you. And this time she won't. At least not for a while. 'I've told her already that no matter how much of an idiot I make of myself,' Jason texted, 'she has to know how proud I am of her and how excited I am for her.' She will. She does. Last year, I wrote a column full of wisdom for launching your kid after high school, collected from readers who had already done so. Chicagoan Allison Clark offered a story about her own experience being dropped off at college: 'My parents unloaded my stuff into my dorm room and then my dad basically hugged me, said goodbye and abruptly left to head back to the car,' Clark wrote. 'My mother stayed a little bit longer and then left as well. 'Months later,' she continued, 'I told my mom that I was a little hurt that my dad left so quickly when they dropped me off. 'Oh, Allison,' my mom said. 'Your dad was about to cry, and he didn't want to cry in front of you. He was very proud about not ever being seen crying.'' Ah. 'I will forever be grateful that she shared that insight with me,' Clark wrote. 'Because it both corrected my memory of what had happened and made me feel so much more understanding of his experience as a parent. It also meant that when I dropped my own child off in that same freshman dorm 34 years later, I made sure to both linger and openly cry before I left.' Two months after I wrote that column, I dropped my daughter at college for the first time. I didn't cry when we pulled up to her dorm. I didn't cry as I unpacked her clothes and folded them into little piles to line her dorm room dresser drawers and had flashbacks of folding her onesies into little piles to line her nursery dresser drawers. I didn't cry when we went to get our nails done together one last time before the old chapter officially ended and the new chapter officially began. I didn't cry when we walked to get iced coffees and I pictured all the times she'd go to that coffee shop and place that coffee order and I wouldn't even know she was there unless she used my PayPal account, which, in the end, happened most of the time. I didn't even cry when I hugged her goodbye. I did cry when I was all alone on the drive home and Luke Combs came on my radio. Mostly because she and I spent part of the drive on the way to college (and the years leading up to that drive to college) singing his songs together at the top of our lungs. But the timing of the tears had nothing to do with hiding what I was feeling from her. The tears came — and come — when they decide to. In a few days I'll drop her at college for the second time. I don't know if it will feel harder or easier. I've heard both. And I don't have a lot of wisdom to share with Jason or any of my other friends who are doing it for the first time, except this one thing. A few weeks ago, my daughter and I stood side by side singing Luke Combs together at the top of our lungs in Grant Park, where he was performing at Lollapalooza. And that was a moment when the world felt absolutely beautiful and mind-blowing and magical and my heart was exploding with love and gratitude and awe. And also, at the exact same moment, my heart started healing in some of the cracked places. Because I realized that after they go out and enjoy that absolutely beautiful, mind-blowing, magical world without us, they come back different. Smarter, probably. Stronger, hopefully. And we get to fall in love with the new them. Over and over again.

'No One Said That': Taylor Swift Fans Shred Baseless Travis Kelce Rumor
'No One Said That': Taylor Swift Fans Shred Baseless Travis Kelce Rumor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There has been a lot of talk about Taylor Swift making a secret cameo in the newly released Netflix film 'Happy Gilmore 2.' As it turns out, however, this was nothing more than a baseless rumor — or at least this is what the Swifties are claiming. Did Taylor Swift Appear in Happy Gilmore 2? Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was part of the sequel of Sandler's 1996 comedy hit. Kelce made a cameo in the movie, and Swift was very supportive of her boyfriend's latest venture into the world of Hollywood films. In one of its posts promoting the movie, Netflix shared a behind-the-scenes video featuring Kelce and his hilarious scene in the film where he was mauled by a bear. In the comments section of the Instagram post, a user suggested that 'they should've dressed Taylor as a bear for an epic surprise.' Netflix replied to the comment with the eyes emoji, which immediately drew attention to the comment referencing Swift. It was pointed out by Entertainment Tonight, however, that, according to the film's credits, it was a stuntman named Brandon Alan Smith who was the 'Bear Performer' in the movie, thereby disproving the supposed Swift theory. Swifties Are Not Happy Several news and entertainment outlets published stories around the premise that Swift fans were led to believe that the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, indeed, made a secret cameo in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' The Swifties have now clapped back, claiming that none of them believed that there was any basis to the supposed rumor that Swift joined Kelce in the film. "Oh stop, no one said that," a comment on X read, responding to a New York Post article entitled, "Why Taylor Swift fans think she secretly appeared in 'Happy Gilmore 2' with Travis Kelce." "Taylor Swift fans think? No chance," said another. "I haven't seen a single fan say they think Taylor was in HG2. Like surely there is actual important (and legit) (expletive) going on that y'all could write about," wrote a user. "Are the fans in the room with us," asked a reader. "Nobody thinks that or thought that LOL," declared another. "NY Post making up headlines again," accused a Swiftie. All sorts of rumors have come out involving Swift and Kelce over the past couple of years, and, to be fair, some Swifties have bought into a number of them. This particular "Happy Gilmore 2" theory, however, is clearly too delusional even for the most avid Swift fan out story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Caitlin Clark Nearly at a Loss for Words After Taylor Swift News
Caitlin Clark Nearly at a Loss for Words After Taylor Swift News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark couldn't be more hyped up after it was confirmed that Taylor Swift will be the next guest on Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. On Monday, speculation mounted that Swift would make an appearance on her boyfriend's podcast after the show posted a teaser that seemingly featured her silhouette in the promo image. Jason Kelce can also be seen wearing a Swift t-shirt in the same photo. Hours later, "New Heights" confirmed the rumors by posting a clip from the upcoming episode showing Travis Kelce and Swift sitting together. "Taylor's about to do a [expletive] podcast!" the podcast's account wrote. "NEW EPISODE WEDS 7PM ET." Clark was among the first to react, and her excitement was clear from her message. In the comment section of "New Heights" Instagram post, she was left nearly speechless and could only write, "AHHHHHHH!!!!!! LFGGGGGG." The Fever playmaker, who is currently recovering from a groin injury that has sidelined her since mid-July, also reposted the clip on her Instagram Stories. To be fair to Clark, the rest of the fans are equally overjoyed — just like her. "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran even wrote, "I FEEL SO HIGH SCHOOL." The Cleveland Cavaliers also commented, "*admin's brain is short circuiting*." A fan added, "I have heart palpitations." Another follower said in excitement, "are you trying to kill me??" Sure enough, it's not surprising to see Clark ecstatic. After all, she's a big Swiftie and even attended the singer's "Eras Tour" concert in Indiana on back-to-back days last November 2024. She's also a big supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs, which she told Travis Kelce when she was a guest on a "New Heights" episode last January. The special episode featuring Swift is set to drop on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Sure enough, it's safe to expect that the episode will break the internet once it's available to story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
