Caitlin Clark Addresses Injury After Missing Seventh Indiana Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The WNBA Commissioner’s Cup championship on Tuesday features the Indiana Fever from the Eastern Conference and the Minnesota Lynx from the Western Conference.
While the Lynx are aiming to win the Commissioner’s Cup for the second straight year, the bigger storyline centers on the status of Indiana guard Caitlin Clark.
Clark, the former University of Iowa star, has missed the Fever’s last two games with a groin injury. The team went 1-1 during that stretch and sits at 8-8 on the season. She has been out for a total of seven games this season, missing the first five due to a quad injury.
After practicing with the team on Sunday, Clark gave reporters an update on her injury.
“Doing everything I can to put myself in a position to play the next game.”

“I feel good. I’m gonna be day-to-day from here on out, doing everything I can to put myself in a position to play the next game every single time,” Clark said. “My goal is always to be available for the next game. Feel good, just going day by day.”
She also highlighted the work she’s doing with the training staff to return to action.
“Doing everything I can with the medical staff to be able to get my body right,” she added.
Clark, the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, was a two-time national college player of the year and remains the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer.
In her rookie season, she averaged 19.2 points per game, but that number has slightly dipped to 18.2 in her second year. A key concern this season has been her 3-point shooting, only making 29.5% from beyond the arc.
Following Tuesday’s game, the Fever will return home to host the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday.
