‘Never Been Through Anything Like This’: Caitlin Clark Speaks On How She’s Dealing With Rough Injury

It’s a hard knock life for Caitlin Clark right now.

After a rookie season that saw her break record after record, the Indiana Fever superstar is most certainly going through a sophomore slump.

Clark suffered a quad injury after only playing four contests. She went on to compete in five games prior to getting an injury to her groin that she ended up reaggravating following the next four.

Out of a potential 31 contests, Clark has suited up in 13 of them, not being in action since July 15.

Her shot was affected by her injury, shooting 7-for-49 from the three-point line in her past six games. Prior to that run, she put up an 11-for-20 figure in the first two contests after her quad injury return. (RELATED: Fever’s Sophie Cunningham Smacked With $1,500 Fine After Blasting WNBA Referees)

Despite becoming the first player ever in WNBA history to tally one million votes, Clark missed the All-Star Game.

“I think it has given me really good perspective on what a lot of my teammates and teams I’ve been a part of [and] what certain people have had to go through,” said Clark while speaking on the podcast of Sue Bird, per Fox News. “I’ve never been through anything like this. I think that’s probably why it’s been so hard because I’ve never really dealt with injury.”

She continued.

“And that’s probably been a challenge in itself because when I was first feeling pain, I didn’t understand it. I was like, ‘Am I just getting tight? Am I just getting old? Do I need to hit a stretch? Do I need to get rubbed out? Do I need some Icy Hot? What’s going on here?

“So, I think it’s been a balance of understanding my body. Whether it’s this year or whether it’s next year and even throughout my career, I’m going to be very thankful for this moment. I know this is going to help me understand my body better.”

Caitlin Clark appeared to be in pain after this play late in the fourth quarter.
