Caitlin Clark’s sophomore season at Iowa was one to remember: She was an AP First-Team All-American, was named Big Ten Player of the Year, and led the country in both scoring and assists. But Clark’s sophomore year as a professional has been one to forget thanks to injuries.

First, she missed five games from May to June because of a quadriceps ailment. She then returned to play in five games, then missed four more games due to a left groin injury. After being cleared and returning to the court for four games in mid-July, Clark then hurt her right groin on July 15, which ended up knocking her out of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game—in which she was a team captain—a game that just happened to take place at her home arena in Indianapolis.
