Caitlin Clark Out Again With Back Injury

Caitlin Clark sits out Saturday’s game against the LA Sparks to recover from a back injury sustained in Wednesday’s win over Phoenix — a setback that’s already sidelined her once this season. Coach Stephanie White confirmed she’s “doing okay” but needs time to heal, with the next game not until July 5th. Despite missing time, Clark remains a scoring force, tied for fourth in the league averaging 21.2 points per game — including 19 in just 20 minutes before exiting. This isn’t her first rodeo with injuries; last season she played only 13 games. Coach White stressed long-term health is paramount, emphasizing Clark’s physical, mental, and emotional readiness before returning. The game against Phoenix also saw Clark hit in the throat — no foul called, but opposing player Alyssa Thomas was suspended one game. Still, Clark remains a fan favorite, currently second in All-Star voting behind teammate Aliyah Boston, with the All-Star Game set for July 25th in Chicago.
