Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is recovering from a groin and ankle injury, according to WNBA insider Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files.
Clark, who has been working her way back from a right groin injury, tweaked her left ankle during a workout session on August 7. The two-time All-Star has been out since July 15. She’s only played in 13 games this season.
One of the best players in the WNBA, Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks for the Fever this season. She missed the All-Star Game in Indiana because of her groin injury.

The 23-year-old Clark was a guest on WNBA legend Sue Bird‘s podcast and she talked about what it’s been like being injured this season.
“It’s just been so challenging. Like being active and playing four games and then not and like not feeling the best and then frustrated of like how hard I worked in the offseason. And then like all I do is rehab and like continue to do this process and just like trying to trust that the best I can,” Clark said. “And obviously there’s really frustrating days and there’s days where like it’s a little bit easier and like you’re very, very motivated and like you’re right close to the finish line of getting back and being back.
“And then like it’s not like I have a training camp to like build up to like playing my first game again. It’s like no, like you’re tossed into game 30. Like go try to play well. Like it’s hard.”
The Fever have nine games left in the regular season.
