Clark withdraws from WNBA All-Star Game, Three-Point Contest due to injury

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark won't participate in the WNBA All-Star Game or the Three-Point Contest this weekend, she announced Thursday.

Clark aggravated a nagging leg injury in the final minute of Tuesday's game against the Connecticut Sun and missed Indiana's final contest before the All-Star break on Wednesday. In total, she's been sidelined for 10 of the Fever's 23 games this season due to injuries to her left groin and left quad.

Indiana is hosting All-Star Weekend for the first time. Clark was selected as an All-Star captain.

Brittney Sykes and Brionna Jones were named roster replacements for Clark and Satou Sabally, who's also sitting out the All-Star Game with an injury.

Clark is the WNBA's reigning Rookie of the Year after averaging 19.2 points and 8.4 assists in 40 appearances last season. She's posting 16.5 points and 8.8 assists per contest in 13 games this campaign.

The Fever drafted Clark first overall in 2024 after a standout NCAA career at Iowa, where she led the nation in scoring three straight years.
