Caitlin Clark is noticeably absent from the basketball court this season, and fans are dying to know the answers to two questions. 1) Why is she not playing right now, and 2) When will she return to the court?
Below are the latest updates on Caitlin’s injury and her return status.
Caitlin has once again been off the court due to a groin injury she sustained on July 15. The Indiana Fever updated basketball fans on her progress less than two weeks later.
«Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark underwent additional medical evaluations this week», - the team shared in a statement on July 24. «The team confirms that no additional injuries or damage were found as a result of the evaluations. Clark will continue to work with the Fever medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with a focus on her long-term health and well-being».
Caitlin has suffered multiple soft tissue injuries this season, but her right groin injury has proven to be the most significant.
It is unclear how exactly Caitlin sustained the specific injury, but her teammate Sophie Cunningham provided some context about it.
«It's such a weird injury», - Sophie said on August 2, according to Newsweek. «She's not constantly in pain. But when you hurt it, you’re back out. … So, I think they’re trying to be extra cautious so she doesn’t have those little setbacks».
According to the Fever’s statement on July 24, «there is no timetable for Clark’s return», - meaning she has been sidelined for an indefinite period, at least until she is mostly healed. «Any further updates will be provided as they become available», - the team added in their statement.
On August 3, coach Stephanie White said that Caitlin’s recovery is «going well», - speaking to reporters at a press conference.
«For us, it’s important to stay the course and make sure that we’re really diligent at every step to not have any setbacks and to be patient», - the coach explained. «I know she wants to be on the court, and we want her to be on the court, but the most important thing is to make sure she’s ready. I still don’t know how far we are; we’re going to take it step by step, day by day».
Based on Coach White’s latest statement, Caitlin still needs to spend some more time off the court to heal her injury
