Will Caitlin Clark compete in All-Star Game and 3 point contest after injuring groin?
Caitlin Clark has battled injuries to start the WNBA season, and suffered another one in the Fever’s last game before the All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.
The WNBA takes a break from the regular season to spotlight their showcase talent during this weekend’s All-Star Break from Indianapolis. Caitlin Clark is hoping to take the stage in her home town, but that could be in jeopardy after suffering an injury on Tuesday night.
Clark injured days before All-Star event
It is supposed to be a very busy weekend for the Indiana Fever superstar, who was set to not just be playing in the WNBA’s showcase game, as well as captaining one of the teams, but she is scheduled to be competing in the three point shootout. Now concern surrounds the Indiana Fever star after she limped off the court last night against the Connecticut Sun.

It’s going to be a star studded weekend in the cradle of basketball as Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, Skylar Diggis, A’Ja Wilson and the leagues best head to Hoosier Country for an action packed weekend. The All-Star Game is set for Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC, and the 3 Point Contest will air on Friday, at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Indy’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse is going to be packed all weekend long, but a lot is riding on Clark’s reaggravted groin. Clark was set to be participating in her first WNBA 3-Point Contest, and will be hoping for a chance to knock off defending champion Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream. Other contestants include NY Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu, Washtington Mystics’ Sonia Citron and LA Sparks’ Kelsey Plum.
Injures have effected Clark’s numbers
The 2025 season has got off to a rough start for Clark, who has had to battle some injuries throughout the first few months of the season. She has played in just 13 of the 22 for the Fever as a groin injury has bothered her since the season tipped off. On Tuesday night she was forced to leave the game with 39.6 seconds to go in the 4th quarter with the Fever up 84-77.

Neither the Fever nor Clark have commented on her status for this weekend. The injury comes just two days before the 3-Point Contest is set to place. Clark’s status is not clear, but fans and event organizers have to be worried after seeing her limp off the floor late in the final game before the festivities begin.
If Clark can’t compete over the weekend it would be a devastating blow for the WNBA who would be without one of it’s biggest stars. This year she is averaging 16.5 ppg, 8.8 apg and 5.0 rpg, with a slight dip in her points and rebounds per game compared to her rookie season. Her three point percentage is suffering most with the constant injuries. She’s dropped from 34.4% to 27.9% from behind the arc.
