Caitlin Clark injury update: Indiana Fever star listed as questionable vs. Liberty

For the second time this season, a groin injury is hampering Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. After missing four games earlier in the year, Clark reaggravated the issue on Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun. Head coach Stephanie White revealed evaluation would take place during her postgame press conference.

Indiana is back on the court Wednesday night, the second game of a back-to-back. After facing off against Connecticut, the New York Liberty are next on the schedule. Tip-off from the Barclays Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.

With that, another update on Clark has been provided. She is listed as questionable heading into the matchup. The official injury is a “right groin” for Clark. Indiana made the official announcement on Wednesday afternoon, just hours before the game is set to begin.

Clark wound up playing 28 minutes on Tuesday, not having the best night of her career. She finished with 14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, Clark really struggled to shoot the ball. Only four of her 14 field goal attempts went down, including one of seven from deep. Five points came from the free throw line.

Next up will be the WNBA All-Star Break, though. Clark will have over a week to heal her injury and hopefully get back to full strength. The Fever’s next game coming out of the break will also be against the Liberty. July 22 will see another game at the Barclays Center.

Caitlin Clark suffers injury in Tuesday’s game vs. Connecticut

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark broke down in tears in the final seconds of Tuesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun after appearing to tweak a groin injury. She reached for her leg after an apparent non-contact issue.

Clark was bringing the ball up the court with about 40 seconds left to play when she kicked it inside to Kelsey Mitchell for a layup. As Connecticut called timeout, the former Iowa star was visibly in pain and reaching for her left leg as she headed toward the basket.

Once she got to the bench, Clark put a towel over her head and was visibly emotional off the bench. Replays showed she pulled up after the backdoor pass and reached for the inside of her right leg as the whistle blew.
