Caitlin Clark Injury Update Has WNBA Fans Deeply Worried originally appeared on The Spun.
The Indiana Fever are slowly but surely getting used to life without Caitlin Clark.
Earlier this season, Clark missed a few games due to a quad injury. She returned to the hardwood on June 14 and reminded the world why she’s a generational talent, scoring 32 points in a win over the New York Liberty. A few games later however, she went down with a groin strain.

Clark last played for the Fever on June 24 against the Seattle Storm. They’ve gone 3-1 in the last four games without her, which gives the coaching staff reason to be patient with their All-Star guard.
“My goal has always been the same: I don’t want this to be something that lingers, that we come back too soon,” Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters this week. “We want to make sure that she is 100% ready to go and that we put her long-term health and wellness at the forefront.”
Unfortunately for WNBA fans, Clark will miss her fifth consecutive game on Saturday when the Fever take on the Los Angeles Sparks. Her status was officially announced on Friday afternoon.

After learning that Clark will miss Saturday’s game, WNBA fans expressed their concerns online. Many of them believe the former No. 1 pick’s groin injury is far more serious than initially expected.

“This is actually getting annoying. Like they were never honest of the severity of the injury we all knew it was going to be weeks but they said it was day to day,” one fan said in response to Clark’s status.
“Like a stab through my heart every time,” a second fan wrote on X.
“Nah this is crazy what is wrong with that groin dawg,” another fan said.
“This injury serious man they tried hiding it too long and having her play when they knew she wasn’t 100%,” a Fever fan commented.
Maybe the Fever are giving Clark a few more days off before their game on July 9.
If Clark is unable to suit up for next Wednesday’s game, it might be time to sound the alarm.
