Caitlin Clark's Journey from Frustration to Fun at WNBA All-Star Weekend

Caitlin Clark, an Indiana Fever star, may not be participating in the WNBA All-Star Weekend festivities due to an injury, but she's still enjoying the celebrations.

"I think the weekend has been absolutely incredible and I hope every player in this league, whether you're participating in the game tonight or were in the three-point competition, skills competition, or were just here to enjoy the All-Star weekend, I hope they feel the same and felt the love from the city," Clark said. "Pacers Sports and Entertainment poured in so much time, money, and effort to really make this the best WNBA All-Star there's been in this league and I'm pretty positive it's been that."

Clark thanked fans for their support throughout the weekend.

"I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to participate last night and won't be able to participate tonight, but still getting to be around to be a part of everything is really important for myself and for the fans," Clark said. "They've been out in full force, whether they're coming into the game tonight or whether they're just enjoying all the festivities that are around our city."

Clark injured her right groin on Tuesday in the Fever's win against the Connecticut Sun.

"When the injury happened, it was pretty frustrating considering I knew what the coming days were going to hold for myself," Clark said. "But I feel like dealing with that and I also just like trying to look at it in the most positive manner that I can."

While she's been enjoying her time this weekend, Clark will shift her focus to recovery starting on Sunday.

"I'm not going to say I've just been getting around the clock treatment," Clark said. "I've been still trying to enjoy this weekend and having a balance of that at the same time and soaking all of this in and once tomorrow comes around, we'll completely shift my focus into getting as healthy as possible."
