Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star to miss fifth consecutive game

USA Today2 days ago
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss her fifth consecutive game due to a left groin injury on Saturday, July 5.
Clark is working her way back by participating in drills.
'We went through semi-live shooting drills, but she hasn't gone full speed in a practice or a live defensive group,' Fever coach Stephanie White told reporters on Friday. 'She's been getting some 3-on-3 work on her own.'
White indicated she was expecting Clark to be reevaluated before the game, but the guard appeared on the injury report Friday evening and was listed as "out."
'I prioritize her long-term health and wellness, and making sure when she comes back, she is 100%,' White said.
It will be the 10th game that Clark has missed this season, including the Fever's 74-59 victory over the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final on July 1. The Fever have remained competitive without Clark, winning the last three games that followed a loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on June 26. The Fever will host the Sparks on Saturday.

Chicago Sky Starter Gets Benched Against Lynx

Chicago Sky Starter Gets Benched Against Lynx originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky own a 5-11 record during the 2025 WNBA season after last Sunday's defeat of the Los Angeles Sparks. The 92 to 85 victory gave the Sky their second win in their last three contests, and they now sit in 12th place in the league standings. Advertisement After starting point guard Courtney Vandersloot suffered a season-ending injury on June 7 against the Indiana Fever, Sky head coach Tyler Marsh was forced to make a change in the starting lineup. Between her injury and second-year center Kamilla Cardoso's temporary absence, the team has employed four different starting lineups in the nine games since Vandersloot got injured. Chicago Sky wing Rebecca Allen (9).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Sunday's contest against the 16-2 Minnesota Lynx will feature their fifth different lineup in the last 10 games, as coach Marsh made another change just before the game. Against the Lynx, fifth-year forward Michaela Onyenwere will start in place of Rebecca Allen, who had started nine straight games for the Sky before Sunday's contest against Minnesota. Advertisement "Your starting 5️⃣!" the Sky wrote. Allen has played in all 16 of the team's games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.5 minutes per game. The 10-year veteran will now come off the bench for the first time since June 7 against the Fever. Onyenwere will be starting her second contest of the season for Chicago, as well as her second in the last three games. She has averaged 4.3 points, 1.1 assists and 1.1 rebounds per contest this season in 12.6 minutes per night. The last time that Onyenwere started, she replaced Cardoso, who had just left the Sky to fulfill her overseas commitment. Now, she will start in place of Allen against the Lynx.

Angel Reese Sends Strong Message Following Major Announcement

Angel Reese Sends Strong Message Following Major Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky enter Sunday night's matchup against the Minnesota Lynx (16-2) with a 5-11 record, but they've shown signs of progress, winning two of their last three games. Advertisement A big reason for that momentum is second-year forward Angel Reese, who's coming off a dominant performance last Sunday against the Sparks, where she posted 24 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and two blocks. Ahead of the team's clash with the Lynx, the WNBA and Sky officially announced that Reese has been selected as a reserve for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. She's the only Sky player to earn the honor and has now been named an All-Star in each of her first two seasons in the league. During a pregame interview, Reese reflected on what the All-Star selection meant to her, especially the moment she shared with her teammates during shootaround earlier in the day, when the news became public. 'It felt really good,' Reese told Chicago State of Mind Sports. 'Obviously, I've known for a couple of days now and I had my emotions to myself, but that was the first time my teammates found out. Like I said earlier, individual awards don't happen without the team, and I'm just so grateful to have them." She continued, "They pushed me through everything—when I was having my down days, and even when I was having my up days, they were always in my corner. That's the part of this team that you love. It's a sisterhood, and I'm happy to be a part of it.' Advertisement Angel Reese has consistently credited her teammates and coaches for her success. After a slow start to the season, she expressed full confidence in first-year head coach Tyler Marsh — and that belief has paid off, fueling one of the most dominant stretches of her WNBA career. Reese has recorded 16 or more rebounds in each of her last four games, and she's continued to elevate her all-around game. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images On the season, she's now averaging 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, while shooting 40.6% from the field and an improved 79.2% from the free-throw line.
