After last Tuesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun, Caitlin Clark’s eligibility to play in the upcoming 2025 WNBA All-Star game seems clouded. Although the Indian Fever star helped her team to win their 12th game this season, she sustained a groin injury which happens to be fourth muscle injury this ongoing season.
Now, with the All-Star game just a couple of days away, fans are wondering if the Iowa-born point guard will participate to lead her Team Clark. However, the recent update seemingly confirmed her exit from this weekend’s mega match-up!
