Caitlin Clark missed a blockbuster WNBA matchup between the Fever and the Dallas Wings due to a groin injury. It was a highly anticipated game as it could have featured a historic duel with rookie sensation Paige Bueckers.
In the end, the Indiana Fever got a much-needed 94-86 victory, but fans were disappointed because they didn’t get to see this clash between two rising stars of the league. However, Fever’s coach, Stephanie White, said they had to do what was best for Caitlin.
“I’m sorry for the people. I think I feel a disappointment for them, more than anything, because I want them to see her at her best and us at her best. I hate that for fans, but, at the same time, for us as a team and for Caitlin as a person and player, her health and wellness is the priority.”
How serious is Caitlin Clark’s injury?
Caitlin Clark’s left groin injury has been classified as day-to-day by the Indiana Fever. Since her college career, the star had not missed any games, but this WNBA season has been different. This was the update from Stephanie White.
“We just want to make sure we’re hyper sensitive to the big picture. She’s a quick healer and she’s been doing everything she can to get back on the floor. Anybody who’s had some of these types of injuries understands that sometimes it’s a process.”
At the moment, it is unknown whether Clark will be ready to play in the Commissioner’s Cup Final next Tuesday, when the Fever face the Minnesota Lynx.
