**Caitlin Clark to Miss WNBA All-Star Game Due to Groin Injury**

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark will be sidelined for this weekend’s WNBA All-Star festivities, including the highly anticipated All-Star Game, after suffering a right groin injury on Tuesday. The announcement came via the Fever organization on Thursday.

Clark, who received the most fan votes and was named a starter and captain for Saturday’s All-Star Game, was also scheduled to participate in the 3-Point Contest for the first time in her career.

“I’m so excited for Indy to host WNBA All-Star this weekend,” Clark said in a statement. “I know this will be the best All-Star yet. I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can’t participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game. I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I’m looking forward to helping Sandy [Brondello] coach our team to a win.”

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has selected Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Atlanta Dream forward Brionna Jones as replacements for Clark and Phoenix Mercury star Satou Sabally (ankle) on the All-Star roster. Minnesota Lynx’s Kayla McBride was previously named as a replacement for the Dream’s Rhyne Howard (knee injury).

Clark underwent imaging on Wednesday to determine the severity of her injury. Fever coach Stephanie White has classified her as day-to-day. The injury forced Clark to miss Wednesday’s game against the New York Liberty, marking the 10th regular-season game she has sat out this season.

Prior to this season, Clark had a perfect attendance record throughout her college and professional career. This year, she has also dealt with two left quad injuries and one left groin injury.

The Fever are off until Tuesday when they face the Liberty again. It is currently unclear if Clark will be available for that game.
