The Indiana Fever are in survival mode. Caitlin Clark has now missed 10 games with multiple injuries, and backcourt depth collapsed after season-ending losses to Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald, forcing the team to sign veteran Odyssey Sims on a hardship deal.

The WNBA is in the middle of a brutal injury stretch where stars like Angel Reese and Napheesa Collier are sidelined, and the Indiana Fever have been hit especially hard. Caitlin Clark has already missed 10 games with multiple soft-tissue injuries… Is offseason play to blame for the injury bug?

Meanwhile, the Rookie of the Year race is heating up. Paige Bueckers is back from concussion protocol and illness, dropping a career-high 35 points to tie Clark’s rookie single-game scoring record, and is averaging 18.6 PPG, 5.4 APG, and 4.1 RPG. Her biggest challenger? Sonia Citron, who’s scored in double figures in eight straight games and is quickly gaining momentum.

With the playoff picture tightening, the questions are clear:

* Can Caitlin Clark get healthy in time to push the Fever into contention?

* Will Paige Bueckers hold off Sonia Citron for Rookie of the Year?

* And how will this injury wave reshape the league’s balance?
