Caitlin Clark injury update rocks the Fever right when they needed her most. Plus, Deion Sanders’ sons face rough NFL preseason moments.
Caitlin Clark Injury Update: Fever Can’t Catch a Break
Caitlin Clark injury update is all anyone’s talkin bout rn. On Aug 24, 2025, Indiana Fever dropped the bomb—Clark ain’t playin vs the Minnesota Lynx. Huge loss.
And it’s not just her… Sophie Cunningham + Aari McDonald also sidelined. Ouch. Fever just lost to the Lynx (95-90) a few days ago, and now gotta rematch them without 3 of their main ballers. Meanwhile Lynx sittin pretty at 29-7. Yikes.
Fever’s Injury List is Just Brutal
Check this:
- Odyssey Sims: Prob (right groin)
- Chloe Bibby: Out (left knee)
- Caitlin Clark: Out (right groin)
- Sydney Colson: Out (left knee)
- Sophie Cunningham: Out (right knee)
- Aari McDonald: Out (right foot)
Clark’s year has been a grind. First the quad back in May, then left groin in July, now the other groin. Still… she’s averaging 16.5 pts, 8.8 ast, 5.0 reb in just 13 games. Superstar stuff, but injuries keep stoppin her shine.
Day-to-day status. No clear word if she even returns before Fever’s szn ends Sept 11.
Fever Tryna Fix Things – Aerial Powers Signs In
With so many players out, Fever had no choice. Enter Aerial Powers, signed on a 7-day hardship deal. Short-term, but she brings scoring + some vet vibes the Fever badly need.
This is how WNBA teams keep scrapping, adjusting, hustling. (Follow roster shuffles on WNBA.com).
Tyrese Haliburton’s Got Caitlin’s Back
Off court? Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton—Clark’s bf + fellow injured hooper—spoke up.
He’s still recovering from an Achilles issue, but says the two lean on each other. Not just basketball convos either. “We give each other strength,” he said. Simple, but powerful.
Fans love it. Shows the human side behind all these injuries + stats.
NFL Twist: Deion Sanders’ Sons Have It Rough
Switch gears—NFL preseason drama. Deion Sanders’ sons had a tough wk 3.
- Shedeur Sanders (Browns QB) got wrecked. 5 sacks vs Rams. Only 14 passing yds, 0 TDs. Painful.
- Shilo Sanders (Bucs rookie safety) got ejected vs Bills after punching Zach Davidson (backup TE). Hot-headed rookie mistake.
Both under huge spotlight cuz of Coach Prime, and both hittin some bumps early.
Deion Sanders’ Reaction
Coach Prime didn’t just rant. He went spiritual. Dropped a Bible verse on socials—Psalms 129:2:
“From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never defeated me.”
Fans read it as him sayin “yeah, this hurts, but we bounce back.”
Then told Bleacher Report:
- You don’t gotta be the best player.
- But you gotta give your best effort.
- Adversity = growth. Period.
Classic Coach Prime.
