Caitlin Clark Appears to Re-Injure Groin in Fever’s Win Over Sun
The Indiana Fever walked away with an 85–77 win against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night. But the victory came with a major concern, Caitlin Clark may have suffered another groin injury.
With about 40 seconds left in the game, Clark dished a smooth assist to Kelsey Mitchell. But immediately afterward, she showed signs of discomfort, grabbing her inner thigh as she moved slowly across the court. The moment set off alarm bells.
A timeout was called, and Clark quietly walked toward the stanchion before placing her head against it. As she made her way back to the bench, she wrapped a towel around her shoulders and appeared to be holding back tears. Cameras caught the somber moment as she watched the final seconds tick down from the sideline.
The 23-year-old had previously missed five straight games in June and July due to a groin injury. Though the Fever were cautious with her return, this latest scare suggests the issue may have flared up again.

All-Star Weekend Status Now in Doubt
Just hours before the game, Clark had been confirmed as a 2025 WNBA All-Star captain and announced as a participant in the All-Star three-point contest. Both taking place on July 19 in Indianapolis.
With no official update from the team yet, fans are anxiously awaiting word on her availability. If the injury is a tweak, Clark might still play. But if it’s a setback, the Fever may opt to hold her out of the All-Star festivities entirely.
This isn’t just a Fever issue, Clark’s health is a storyline that affects the entire league. Her presence draws record crowds and unprecedented media attention. Any injury scare feels like a loss for the WNBA as a whole.
For now, Fever fans will hope for the best and brace for the possibility that the league’s brightest young star may need more time to heal.
