Caitlin Clark in Tears: Injury Scare During Fever’s Win Raises All-Star Doubts

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Caitlin Clark, the dynamic star of the Indiana Fever, left the court in tears during a hard-fought victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. The injury, appearing to be a groin issue, occurred after Clark delivered a slick bounce pass to teammate Kelsey Mitchell for a lay-up. As Mitchell scored, Clark winced in pain, gingerly moving toward the basket before collapsing against the padding in visible distress.

Coach Stephanie White later revealed that Clark felt discomfort in her groin late in the game, prompting her exit for evaluation. This isn’t the first time Clark has battled injury this season—she’s already missed nine games and recently returned from a similar groin issue under a minutes restriction. Despite the pain, she put up an impressive 14 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists in the game, though her shooting struggles, especially from beyond the arc, have been evident amid her recovery.

With the WNBA All-Star Game and a 3-point shooting contest on the horizon this weekend, Clark’s participation now hangs in the balance. Her resilience has been tested time and again this season, but this latest setback could sideline one of the league’s brightest talents at a pivotal moment. Fans are left holding their breath, hoping for a speedy recovery for the Fever’s standout player.
