Caitlin Clark may not be playing in the All-Star game in Indianapolis on Saturday after all.
The Fever guard left Tuesday's game against the Sun in the fourth quarter with an apparent groin injury. She grimaced in pain after an assist to Kelsey Mitchell and exited shortly afterward.
Clark has been dealing with physical play and injuries for much of this season. She was out with a quadriceps strain earlier this year and missed five games with a groin strain before returning on July 9.

Caitlin Clark injury update
Clark made a pass to Kelsey Mitchell in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game, took a few steps toward the opposite basket, and then began grimacing and grabbing the side of her right leg. This appears to be an aggravation of the groin strain she suffered earlier this year.

Clark went to the bench gingerly immediately following the injury and was in some obvious pain, covering her head with a towel to hide her tears.

The injury, which occurred with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter of a game Indiana won, capped off an eventful night for Clark, who jawed with the refs and struggled with her shot early before finding her rhythm in the fourth quarter.Â
