Fever Star's Injury Update Misspeak Causes Confusion
27 Jul
Summary
- Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham misspoke about Caitlin Clark's injury status
- Fever's official statement contradicted Cunningham's "day-to-day" claim
- Clark's injury likely more serious, ruling her out of upcoming game
In a recent development, Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has apparently "misspoke" about the injury status of her teammate, Caitlin Clark. After the Fever's 80-70 win against the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday night, Cunningham told reporters that Clark, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, was "day-to-day."
However, this statement contradicted the Fever's official announcement earlier that day, which revealed that no additional injuries or damage were found on Clark's re-aggravated right groin, but also indicated that there was no timetable for her return. Fever reporter Tony East clarified that Cunningham's comment was an honest mistake, as she was aware of the team's statement but simply misspoke.
Based on the information provided, it seems evident that Clark's injury is more serious than a day-to-day issue, which likely means she will be sidelined for an extended period. This virtually confirms her absence in Sunday's highly anticipated rivalry showdown against the Chicago Sky. Meanwhile, Cunningham and the rest of the Fever team will continue to carry on in Clark's absence.
