Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Expected Out Weeks With Groin Injury

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is dealing with a right groin injury that is expected to keep her out of the team's upcoming game against the New York Liberty. Clark, who last played on July 15 before injuring her groin late in that game, has missed several games this season due to multiple muscle-related injuries, including issues with her left quad and groin. Fever head coach Stephanie White emphasized caution, noting that Clark will undergo further medical evaluations early in the week to clarify her recovery timeline. Despite her injury setbacks, Clark is a two-time WNBA All-Star and the 2024 Rookie of the Year, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5.0 rebounds this season. The Fever, expected to be championship contenders, currently hold a 12-11 record and are navigating the season without consistent availability from their star player. White acknowledged that soft tissue injuries like Clark's often require extended healing time, sometimes lasting until the offseason, and the team is taking the recovery process day by day.
