Clark was visibly emotional after leaving the court with another injury in the final minute of Tuesday’s Indiana Fever’s 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun.

In only her fourth game back following a five-game absence due to a groin injury, the 23-year-old appeared to reaggravate the same injury.

After providing Kelsey Mitchell with a bounce pass assist for an easy layup, Clark began walking slowly back up the court while holding the inside of her right leg. In frustration, she hit her head against the cushioned back stanchion of the basket.


Clark appeared to be holding back tears as she made her way to the bench, covering her head with a towel.

Prominent sports doctor Jesse Morse gave his diagnosis on Caitlin Clark, stating she appeared to “have reaggravated her right adductor/groin strain.”


Earlier this season, Clark missed five games with a left groin injury.

Prior to leaving Tuesday’s game, Caitlin recorded 14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. During the season, Clark has averaged 16.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game.

Her sharpshooting skills have been off in her second year. She is only 7-49 from 3-point range over the past seven games and is shooting 28.9 percent from 3-point range on the season.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark suffered an injury late during Tuesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun.

She would exit the game in the final minute of Indiana’s 85-77 win and was clearly in pain.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White provided an injury update on her superstar after the game.

“Just felt a little something in her groin, so we’ll get it evaluated and see what happens from there,” White said.
