Last August, the WNBA announced that Indianapolis — home of the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark — would host the league’s All-Star weekend this season for the first time.
Clark’s home city was a logical choice for this week’s star-studded festivities. During her rookie season last year, Clark had an incredible impact on the WNBA’s business, single-handedly accounting for massive increases in merchandise sales, viewership and attendance.
On Thursday, however, the WNBA’s best-laid plans for a Clark-led All-Star weekend officially went awry, as Clark announced she would have to sit out because of a left groin injury.
“I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can’t participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game,” Clark said in a statement. “I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I’m looking forward to helping Sandy [Brondello] coach our team to a win.”
