Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark received reassuring news on Thursday regarding her ongoing groin injury. The team confirmed that she has not suffered any new injury or additional damage, following concerns that she might have reaggravated the issue during her recent appearances.
Clark initially faced a groin injury in June, which forced her to miss several weeks of action. Although she returned to play in July, her participation was limited to just four games before she appeared to aggravate the injury again. This setback also caused her to miss the All-Star Game, where she attended as a coach instead.
The Fever did not provide a specific timeline for Clark’s return but indicated that she would continue her recovery and rehabilitation with the franchise’s medical team. Updates on her status will be shared as they become available. For now, Clark will miss the team’s upcoming game against the Las Vegas Aces.
Despite her injury struggles, the 23-year-old guard has remained impactful when healthy, averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 5 rebounds over 13 games this season. Her strong performance has earned her a second consecutive All-Star selection, highlighting her talent and importance to the team.
With Clark sidelined for significant portions of the season, the Fever’s record stands at 12-12 ahead of the game against the Aces. Following that matchup, they will face the Chicago Sky on Sunday and the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday.
Overall, while the situation remains uncertain, the positive news of no new injury offers hope for Clark’s recovery and potential return to the court soon. This will allow the Fever to leverage her talent as they pursue playoff aspirations.
