Is Caitlin Clark Playing Tonight in Fever vs. Liberty?
Fever star Caitlin Clark and Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu both scored over 30 points in the first matchup between these teams. However, the Fever will likely be without Caitlin Clark on Wednesday, as she injured her right groin with under a minute left in Tuesday's game against the Sun with about 40 seconds left.
Caitlin Clark is officially listed as questionable to play tonight vs. Liberty, though it'd be a bit surprising to see her give it a go on a back-to-back before the All-Star Game. Clark recently missed five games with a groin injury, and may be rested through the All-Star Break.
Clark also appeared emotional after her injury last night, signaling some severity to the injury. Look for updates closer to game time on whether Clark is playing or not.
If Clark's injury keeps her out, it will open more additional minutes and opportunities for Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, and Aari McDonald.
