Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has officially been ruled out of the Commissioner's Cup championship game on Tuesday with a left groin injury. The Fever, who are in the championship for the first time in franchise history, will have to take on the defending champion Minnesota Lynx without their best player. Clark had been a partial participant in practice in recent days, and Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters on Monday that the team was being cautious with her recovery. "Making sure we don't have any setbacks, we got to be smart about this," White said. Clark last spoke on Sunday after practice and told reporters she felt "good" and was taking things "day-by-day." It's unclear if she'll be ready to go when the Fever resume regular season play on July 3 against the Las Vegas Aces. "Doing everything I can to put myself in a position to play the next game every single time," Clark said. "That's always my goal is to be available for the next game. Doing everything I can with the medical staff to be able to get my body right to be able to do that. But yeah, I feel good and just going day-by-day."Clark has not played since June 24, when she was held to a season-low six points in a win over the Seattle Storm. In the final seconds of that contest, Clark took an awkward fall. Prior to their next game against the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday, the team announced that Clark would not play due to a groin injury. She also sat out against No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Friday. , Caitlin Elizabeth Clark (born January 22, 2002) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA)., Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has officially been ruled out of the Commissioner's Cup championship game on Tuesday with a left groin injury.
