Caitlin Clark will have to remain sidelined for Thursday night’s showdown against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a new injury to her left groin.
This unfortunate news for the Indiana Fever star comes after missing five games earlier this month after suffering a left quadriceps strain in her left leg.
Muted night for Caitlin Clark in Indiana’s locker room celebration
This was confirmed by Indiana Fever on its official X account: “Status Report for tonight’s game vs. Los Angeles: Caitlin Clark – Out (left groin)“, they wrote in the post.
In a press conference, Fever’s trainer Stephanie White stated that CC started last night with pain and underwent an MRI. She also stated that they will continually evaluate his response to treatment.
However, the team did not announce when the former Iowa player will be back in action again, so all eyes are on the Fever’s next game against Dallas Wings on Friday.
The idea of seeing CC face Paige Bueckers is something that got the fans excited and it showed in the ticket sales for the match. Half an hour after the announcement of Clark’s injury, Dallas confirmed that the bout at the American Airlines Center, with a capacity of approximately 20,000 fans, was officially sold out.
“A NIGHT IN DALLAS IS SOLD OUT. @AACenter will be packed tomorrow vs @IndianaFever” the team wrote on its X account.
However, this did not cause the expected reaction from fans, especially those who were hoping to see CC on the court:
“Won’t be if Caitlin is out again,” said one of the users, “Without CC. For me it is empty…” expressed with pain a fan, “Can we postpone?” proposed another one as a joke.
What should fans expect?
A win wouldn’t hurt Dallas, who have not had a good start to the season and have a 4-12 record. However, Paige Bueckers shines with an average of 17.7 points, 5.8 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game and the team is expected to take advantage of Clark’s absence, should his injury prevent him from playing.
With a win against Seattle following two straight losses to (to the Las Vegas Aces and Golden State Valkyries), Indiana will be fighting to make it back-to-back wins and add one more victory to their 7-7 record, with or without Clark.
However, Clark’s absence against Wings has not been confirmed and is one of the biggest question marks ahead of the game.

Vůbec jsem to od něj nečekal, reaguje šéf Oktagonu na Véghovu zlobu
Végh si v podcastu slovenského rappera Rytmuse stěžoval zejména na výkony bodových sudích, kteří jednomyslně označili za vítěze Terminátora. Uváděl také to, že se v pětikolovém napínavém zápase necítil být ani jednou v ohrožení, ale naopak se sám blížil ve třetím kole k ukončení. Rovněž vyvrátil že by česko-slovenskou MMA rivalitu opanoval lepší bojovník, byť s Vémolou má nadále kamarádský vztah. Několikrát také zmínil, že vítězi stačilo držet otěže souboje u pletiva.„Překvapilo mě to, vůbec jsem to od něj nečekal. Když totiž člověk cítí, že ten zápas byl špatně bodovaný, což bychom měli tak cítit všichni, tak se to řeší hned po zápase. Objeví se nějaké komentáře, že by to mělo být jinak, a i tým kolem zápasníka je nespokojený a nějak to řeší. Teď s tím byli všichni oukej. Attila se krásně v kleci rozloučil. Bylo to hezké sportovní gesto, které se hodí k takové legendě,“ odhaluje Neruda pozápasové chvíle.Foto: […]

Club World Cup power rankings: How the last 16 contenders shape up
And with that, we’re onto the knockout rounds.For all of the uncertainty about the on-field standard of this first expanded Club World Cup, the group stage provided plenty of thrills. From an opening weekend 10-goal win to clubs from Brazil and MLS toppling perennial UEFA Champions League qualifiers, many teams will have built a surprisingly robust highlight reel — even those whose tournaments ended before the round of 16.AdvertisementWith a gap day to catch our collective breath before the bracket begins playing out, it’s time to give a hefty update to our running Club World Cup power rankings.
