Caitlin Clark has quickly become the face of the WNBA. Just half way into her second season, Clark is easily the most recognizable WNBA player in the league. However, this season has been slowed down to injuries.
The latest injury news has gone viral, and not in a good way.
Breaking: Devastating Caitlin Clark Injury News Infuriates Fans, Indiana Fever
A left groin injury will keep Caitlin Clark from playing in Saturday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks, the team announced:
It will be the ninth regular-season game missed by Clark and 10th overall including the Commissioner’s Cup final. She sat out five games earlier in the season because of a left quad strain and had returned to appear in five games before the groin injury. Before this year, Clark hadn’t missed time across her collegiate or professional careers.
Fever coach Stephanie White said at practice Friday that Clark had gone through semi-live shooting drills but hadn’t gone full speed in practice yet. White added that Clark was going to be evaluated Saturday morning, but she was listed as out Friday evening in the Fever’s injury report.
Clark, the 2024 No. 1 pick, is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds in nine games this season, shooting 39.0% from the field and 29.5% from 3-point range. She recently was named an All-Star starter and captain by virtue of receiving the most fan votes.
Indiana (9-8) kicked off a five-game homestand Thursday with a resounding win over the Las Vegas Aces. After Saturday’s tilt against the Sparks, they will face the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.
