Indiana’s Caitlin Clark has been declared out for Wednesday night’s road contest against the New York Liberty due to a right groin injury.
The Fever star guard’s availability for All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis is questionable. She was to compete in Friday’s 3-point contest, then start and serve as a team captain for Saturday’s All-Star game.
Clark aggravated the injury in the final minute of Tuesday’s 85-77 victory over the Connecticut Sun in Boston. Clark previously missed four regular-season games and the Commissioner’s Cup final with a groin issue.
Indiana’s game versus the defending champions will be the 11th absence of the season for Clark, who dressed for every game in her collegiate career and her WNBA rookie season in 2024.
The Fever are 8-5 with Clark in the lineup this season and 4-5 when she does not dress. She is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game in her second professional season.
