Indiana Fever Injuries

Caitlin Clark- Out (Groin Injury)

The Indiana Fever continue to have Caitlin Clark on their injury report. Clark has been ruled out against the Mercury due to a right groin injury. It marks her 14th regular season game absence, and 15th overall, including the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Final. Not only this, but it would be her fifth straight game that Clark would miss due to her latest injury spell. Clark, the former No. 1 pick and reigning Rookie of the Year, has had a season derailed with injuries. Fans and experts are hoping to see her back on the courts soon.

The Fever's injury report for tomorrow's game is as expected, as Caitlin Clark remains out with a right groin injury.
