Caitlin Clark is out of All-Star weekend.

The Fever guard injured her right groin on Tuesday night in the final minute of the team’s win over the Sun. She said Thursday in a message posted on X that she had to rest her body.

“I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can’t participate,” Clark said. “I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I’m looking forward to helping (Liberty coach Sandy Brondello) coach our team to a win.”

Clark was supposed to compete in the 3-point contest Friday night in Indianapolis, and is captain of one of the All-Star teams. The second-year guard was the leading vote getter from the fans and has been a huge reason the league has had a boon in attendance and ratings over the last two seasons.

The WNBA announced that Brittney Sykes of the Mystics will replace Clark in the All-Star Game. They hadn’t yet announced a replacement for her in the 3-point contest.

Fever coach Stephanie White said imaging done Wednesday afternoon delivered good news on Clark’s injury.
