So heartbreaking! Caitlin Clark misses her second straight game due to a left groin injury, leaving Fever fans devastated! 😢 From a shining WNBA star to helpless on the bench, she deserves so much more. Even worse, her coach just revealed this injury could end her WNBA career – what will happen next? With her fragile health hanging in the balance for the Commissioner’s Cup Finals, will you wait for a miracle?

WNBA fans have been left heartbroken by the news that Caitlin Clark was ruled out of her second straight Indiana Fever game on Friday night against the Dallas Wings with a left groin injury.

Clark also missed Thursday’s home game against the Los Angeles Sparks with the same ailment, with Fever fans desperately missing her in a 85-75 defeat to one of the worst teams in the league.

No long-term declaration to Clark’s health has been made, with Indiana’s following game on Tuesday being the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals against the Minnesota Lynx.

A win against the Lynx would hand the Fever their first trophy since winning the WNBA Championship in 2012, making Clark’s health for that contest paramount.

Many fans are in the Metroplex for the Fever’s showdown against Paige Bueckers and the Wings, in a matchup of last year’s rookie phenom, against the biggest first-year player of 2025.

Now, their frustrations of missing out on the first Clark-Bueckers professional matchup and another Clark injury absence have spilled onto social media.

‘Wishing Caitlin a speedy recovery. I won’t lie I am pretty heartbroken, but in no way is it her fault. I’ve been wanting to see her play basketball for the past couple of years and this was my first chance. I’m sure it’ll be an amazing game, the fever have a fantastic team,’ one WNBA fan said.

‘Huge bummer. This will be my daughter’s first WNBA game and we’ve been so excited for months. We will still be cheering on the Fever!!!’ a second supporter stated.

Caitlin Clark shoved to floor after Fever star exploded on rival

Before Clark’s second multi-game injury absence of the season, her teammates were rallying around her after a few dismal performances.

Despite Clark’s injury-return game against the New York Liberty on June 14, after missing five games, and the scrappy contest against the Connecticut Sun a few days later, the WNBA phenom’s usually sharpshooting touch has been anything but ironclad.

Against the Seattle Storm, Clark was 3-for-13 from the field, including an 0-of-6 mark from 3-point range.

In the Fever’s two previous games before Tuesday night’s victory, Clark combined for a 1-of-17 mark from beyond the arc, an unimaginable two-game line by the lofty standards set by the point guard.

‘She’ll be fine. We’re not worried about it,’ Fever teammate Lexie Hull said of Clark’s form.
Clark’s previous injury was a quad strain, suffered against the Liberty on May 24.
