**Clark Addresses 3-Point Rumors, Injury Clouds All-Star Weekend**
BOSTON – Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has put to rest rumors suggesting she avoided the WNBA All-Star 3-point contest due to concerns about shooting off a rack. “I am shooting off a rack,” Clark stated, emphasizing her desire to debut in the contest in front of her home fans in Indianapolis.
However, Clark’s participation in Friday’s 3-point contest and Saturday’s All-Star Game is now in jeopardy. During Tuesday’s game against the Sun, Clark left the court late in the fourth quarter after appearing to injure her groin. Coach Stephanie White said after the game, “No update, just felt a little something in her groin, so we’ll get it evaluated and see what happens from there.”
Despite the injury setback, Clark is slated to join Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, and Sonia Citron in the 3-point contest. As of Tuesday, she said she’s never shot off a rack before, and she may not have any time to practice before Friday night.
Clark maintains a lighthearted perspective on the event, stating, “It’s really not that deep or that serious. Just go out there and have fun and shoot it. It’s just the ball, a hoop and a rack, I guess, and just have fun doing it.” The WNBA and Fever fans alike will be waiting to hear the medical evaluation on Clark’s groin injury to see if they will get to see their star compete at All-Star weekend.
