Maddy Siegrist's return to Wings from knee injury delayed at least one more game
The Wings ruled Siegrist out of a game Friday night against the Indiana Fever a day after saying her 17-game absence because of a right knee fracture was set to end.
The Wings are playing the Fever at the home of the Dallas Mavericks. It's the second time the Wings will play at American Airlines Center.
Dallas faced the Fever at the AAC in late June, losing 94-86 when Caitlin Clark was sidelined by a groin injury. Clark returned after that, but this meeting with the Wings will be Clark's sixth consecutive game missed after the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year aggravated a groin injury.
Siegrist, the NCAA Division I scoring leader ahead of Clark when she played for Villanova in 2022-23, was limited to 11 games in an injury-plagued rookie season two years ago.
Siegrist has averaged 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 11 games and had her only double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 boards the game before she was injured, an 81-65 loss to Minnesota on June 8.

Fever's Sophie Cunningham Gets Honest About Caitlin Clark's Injury
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Indiana Fever have suffered through a rough season when it comes to superstar guard Caitlin Clark. She has struggled with injuries all season long and remains out due to her groin injury. Despite not having their superstar player, the Fever have remained very competitive. In fact, they have won four straight games and now hold a 16-12 record. So far this season, Indiana has remained a playoff contender. If Clark can get healthy, the Fever could still make a championship run. However, they need her back on the court to make that kind of a run.

Read more: Caitlin Clark Facing Backlash After Fever Star's Latest Off-Court Move Recently, Indiana teammate spoke out about Clark's injury. She called the groin issue "weird" when describing it. "It's such, like, a weird injury," Cunningham said. "She's not in pain all the time. But when you do hurt it you're out for I think they're trying to be like extra cautious so she doesn't kind of have those little setbacks." Clark has only been able to play in 13 of the team's 28 games this season. When she has played, the injuries have caused a clear issue for her and she hasn't been able to find a rhythm. During the 2025 season, Clark has averaged 16.5 points per game to go along with 8.8 assists, five rebounds, and 1.6 steals. She has only shot 36.7 percent from the floor and 27.9 percent from three-point range. Those numbers clearly are not the kind of WNBA MVP production that many expected to see from the 23-year-old superstar.

Once she reaches that point, Clark will be back on the floor. No one knows if that point will come this season, but Indiana and its fans are holding out hope that she can return in 2025. Expect to hear more about Clark's injury in the near future. For now, it's a "weird" injury that has cost one of the most entertaining players in the WNBA far too many games.
