June 26 (UPI) -- All-Star guard Caitlin Clark will not suit up for the Indiana Fever against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a left groin injury, the team announced Thursday.
The Fever (7-7) and Sparks (4-11) will tip off at 7 p.m. EDT at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The matchup between the 8th-place Fever and 11th-place Sparks will air on Prime Video.
Clark, who missed five previous games because of a left quad strain, averaged the 11th-most points per game (18.2) in the WNBA so far this season. She is tied with Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas for the most assists per game (8.9). Clark also leads the WNBA in turnovers per game (5.9).
Clark scored a season-high 32 points on June 12 to help the Fever hand the second-place New York Liberty (11-3) their first lost of the season. She averaged 12 points per game over her last three appearances, including a season-low six points in a win over the fifth-place Seattle Storm (9-6) on Tuesday in Seattle.
