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.

Matt Freese Has The Hot Hand But Won’t Let World Cup Talk Distract Him
Laken Litman College Football & Soccer Analyst <!--> ARLINGTON, Texas – Matt Freese admittedly was trying to "overcomplicate a scenario." In the 19th minute of the U.S. men’s national team’s eventual 2-1 win over Haiti in its final Gold Cup group stage match on Sunday, Freese received a pass back from defender Tim Ream in a precarious situation. Ream had chased a ball back near his own goal with Haitian striker Louicius Don Deedson on his heels and figured he’d play it to Freese, who had a better angle to clear it. Instead, Freese mis-hit the ball, which was intercepted by Deedson, who proceeded to score and tie the game 1-1. The Americans responded and came back to win the match – and Group D in the process. But it was a learning moment for Freese, who is striving to state his […]

Zinho sugere Estêvão e Vitor Roque no Palmeiras para romper defesa do Botafogo: “Vai ter que se preocupar”
Estêvão e Vitor Roque comemoram gol pelo Palmeiras (Cesar Greco/Palmeiras/by Canon)Zinho não apoia que Estêvão seja barrado por Abel Ferreira no Palmeiras. Embora o desempenho ao longo do Mundial esteja abaixo das expectativas, o ex-jogador vê o jovem como peça-chave para o clube paulista seguir no mata-mata. Neste cenário, uma dobradinha com Vitor Roque foi sugerida para superar a forte marcação do Botafogo. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Na percepção de Zinho, Estêvão e Vitor Roque, juntos no ataque do Palmeiras, devem preocupar o sistema defensivo do Botafogo. Por conta da forte ameaça, a tendência é que Renato Paiva aproxime um dos volantes da dupla, algo capaz de abrir espaços para Maurício e Richard Ríos no meio-campo. “Para o Palmeiras ter um diferente neste jogo é o Estêvão jogar próximo do atacante, Flaco ou Vitor Roque. Eu começaria com o Vitor Roque. Ele […]

Ele citou o tamanho da torcida do Flamengo, mas argumentou que a do time paulista vence em festa nos estádios ao redor dos Estados Unidos. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “A torcida do Palmeiras está dando um show nos EUA. A torcida mais legal é a do Palmeiras.
