Fans pack TD Garden to see Caitlin Clark amid push for WNBA team in Boston
For many young families filing into TD Garden, Tuesday night felt like Christmas in July... as budding basketball fans finally got to enjoy their gift. "I'm going to go see Caitlin Clark!" a young girl exclaimed. Last year the Connecticut Sun made league history playing the first ever WNBA game in Boston. Now they sold out the Garden again, welcoming the Indiana Fever and the famed Caitlin Clark. The Fever beat the Sun 85-77. With the league growing in popularity, and amid reports the Sun might be sold, some leaders in Boston believe this is a no brainer. "I was looking at ticket prices a couple days ago and it was $100 for nosebleed seats. The excitement and fan base is here and a team would do really well in this city," said Boston City Councilor Brian Worrell, who filed a resolution which he hopes will get the league's attention. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey issued a proclamation declaring it "WNBA Day in Boston" and said the city should have its own team. "Boston is New England's capitol and hub, and would be the perfect place for a WNBA team," the proclamation said. Regardless of where the Sun sets, the momentum around the WNBA is helping even more fans fall in love with the game. And that means everything to their biggest fans. "I know when I was growing up it wasn't as prevalent. Now that she's able to grow up with women's sports everywhere and knowing she can do anything boys can do. I couldn't ask for anything more," said Amanda Fontaine.

Caitlin Clark leaves Fever victory with groin injury ahead of All-Star Game
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark sustained a groin injury late in Tuesday's 85-77 road win over the Connecticut Sun, Fever coach Stephanie White said after the game. Clark exited the contest with less than a minute left. '(She) just felt a little something in her groin,' White said. 'So, we'll get it evaluated and see what happens from there.' #Fever HC Stephanie White says Caitlin Clark "felt a little something in her groin." No update beyond that. For what it's worth, it looked like Clark grabbed at her *right* groin. She previously missed five games this season due to a *left* groin strain. | @TheAthleticWBB — James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) July 16, 2025 White said Clark was being evaluated Tuesday night and would be evaluated again Wednesday morning ahead of the Fever's road game against the New York Liberty. '(We'll) see where we are, but this group has played without her,' White said. 'At least we've got experience in that. We know that we have a tough opponent in New York. We know that it's gonna be a challenge no matter what, and we just gotta get locked in and ready to work.' Advertisement Clark previously missed four games this year due to a left groin strain, but it's worth noting she grabbed her right groin Tuesday. The 23-year-old has also missed five games with a left quad injury. Indiana is 4-5 without Clark in the lineup. Before this season, Clark had never missed a game in her college or pro career. Clark suffered her latest injury while throwing a backdoor bounce pass to teammate Kelsey Mitchell, who scored a layup with 39.1 seconds left in the game. After the play, the Sun called a timeout and Clark grimaced and grabbed her right groin. She walked down the court and banged her head off the stanchion underneath the basket on the other end in frustration. Clark eventually made her way to the bench and put a towel over her head. Veteran reserve guard Sydney Colson subbed in for Clark, who finished with 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting. She also had seven assists and eight rebounds. In addition to Wednesday's game at New York, Clark's availability is also uncertain for WNBA All-Star weekend, which will be held at the Fever's home arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in Indianapolis. The league announced Tuesday that Clark would compete in the 3-point contest on Friday for the first time, and she's scheduled to make her second consecutive start in the All-Star Game on Saturday. Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 13 games this season. If she is sidelined for a while, fellow All-Star Mitchell, backup point guard Aari McDonald and Colson will likely shoulder more of the team's ball-handling duties.
