Caitlin Clark Misses WNBA Cup Final Due to Injury
The Indiana Fever star, Caitlin Clark, will not participate in the WNBA Cup championship game this Tuesday night. The team announced this due to a groin injury.
Clark, who has been dealing with this injury, was initially listed as questionable for the game against the Minnesota Lynx, who will be at home at the Target Center. However, she was not on the court during the media’s open practice time on Tuesday, and the team later confirmed her absence.
This will be the third consecutive time Clark misses a game due to this groin problem. Previously, he missed five games earlier in the season due to a quadriceps injury.
Coach Stephanie White reported that Clark practiced on Monday in Indiana, but without contact. In addition, Clark was the most voted player by the fans and was named a starter and captain of the All-Star on Monday. The All-Star Game will take place on July 19 in Indianapolis.
The Lynx, with a 14-2 record, lead the WNBA and are the current Commissioner’s Cup champions. The Fever, with 8-8, will play for the Cup for the first time since this mid-season championship event between East and West teams began in 2021.
The winning team from Tuesday will receive a prize of $500,000.
