Caitlin Clark fought hard to hold back tears after an injury during the Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun game.
According to CNN, WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) All-Star became emotional on Tuesday, July 16, after she was forced to leave court after an injury during the final minutes of the game.
The American basketball star was hit with another injury during the ongoing 2025 season during the Fever’s 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun.
The 23-year-old, who was playing her fourth match after skipping five games due to injury, after helping Kelsey Mitchell score an easy basket, began to limp while holding her right leg.
She first seemed clearly frustrated after the injury but was then seen in tears while walking back to the bench before covering her face with a towel.
After the game, Fever head coach Stephanie White, while providing Clark’s injury update, told reporters that she “just felt a little something in her groin. We’ll get it evaluated and see what happens from there.”
Indiana Fever star was struggling with her right leg during Tuesday’s match, while previously she suffered a left groin injury.
The head coach explained, “And certainly, we'll have another evaluation, probably, and conversation in the morning to see where we are. But this group has played without her. At least we've got experience in that.”
“We know that we have a tough opponent in New York. We know that it's going to be a challenge, no matter what, and we've just got to get locked in and ready to compete,” she added.
It is worth noting that Clark suffered a new injury just before Saturday, July 18, the WNBA All-Star Game and 3-point shooting contest.
