Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will get another opinion for a right groin injury she’s been dealing with, according to head coach Stephanie White.
White shared the news with reporters on Sunday, July 20 as the team returned to practice following the WNBA All-Star Game, which was held in Indianapolis.
Clark initially suffered the groin injury during the final moments of the game against the Connecticut Sun on July 15. She was voted as a team captain for the All-Star game, but was unable to play, stating, ‘I have to rest my body.’
White doesn’t expect Caitlin Clark to be available to play against the New York Liberty for the Fever’s next game on Tuesday, July 22.
‘She’s going to see some doctors and get some more tests around early in the week,’ White told reporters. ‘I don’t expect her to be available on Tuesday, so we’re just going to continue to take it one day at a time and let her get her evaluations early this week and then once we’ve done that, hopefully we’ll have a clear line of what it looks like.’
Clark did not practice on Sunday, along with the Fever’s other All-Stars Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell.
It’s the fourth muscle-related injury for Clark this season. She’s missed 11 of the Fever’s 23 games this season, including the Commissioner’s Cup victory over the first-place Minnesota Lyxn.
Clark’s other injuries from this season include her left groin, quad tightness and a quad strain.
