Clark Sidelined by Groin Injury as Liberty Welcome Jones Return

Indiana’s ability to stay in playoff contention without Clark faces a new test against a New York squad strengthened by Jonquel Jones’s return.

Overview

  • Caitlin Clark was ruled out of Tuesday’s game with a right groin strain, marking her 11th missed regular-season contest.
  • Jonquel Jones was cleared from a right ankle injury and is set to return for her first game since June 19.
  • The Fever have maintained a 12-11 record and clinched the Commissioner’s Cup without Clark this season.
  • The Liberty went 7-5 without Jones and aim to regain momentum in the Eastern Conference standings.
  • All-Star viewership dropped 36% to 2.19 million as players used “Pay What You Owe Us” shirts to highlight CBA revenue-share demands.
