Caitlin Clark to miss 3-point contest and All-Star game

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE/AP) Caitlin Clark announced on Facebook Thursday that she won’t be taking part in the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game or its 3-point contest which is taking place in Indianapolis.

The Indiana Fever guard made the announcement on the team’s Facebook page.

Clark injured her groin Tuesday night late in the game in a win over the Connecticut Sun. She then sat out the team’s 98-77 loss against New York.

Clark had been slated to compete in a loaded 3-point contest Friday night and is captain of one of the All-Star teams.

Clark got hurt with under a minute left in Tuesday’s game. She walked downcourt holding her right groin after assisting on the Fever’s final basket. As teammate Aliyah Boston tried to console her, Clark walked to the basket stanchion and banged her head against it before heading to the bench. During the timeout, she covered her head with a towel and appeared to be holding back tears.

“Someone who continues to have setbacks from an injury standpoint … it’s very frustrating. You feel like you’re trying to do everything that you can to put yourself in position to get past it or to move forward,” Indiana Fever Coach Stephanie White said. “When there’s a setback, it’s mentally and emotionally tough, so of course she was upset.”

Clark had been durable throughout college and her first season in the WNBA, never missing a game. Now she’s had four different muscle injuries so far this year.
