00:18second year in the w that have not plagued basically the entirety of her basketball career

00:28entering the all-star break sixth game now drs in the last three weeks plus dealing with a groin

00:35injury that she re-aggravated at the end of tuesday night's game for indiana not a great sign for

00:44caitlin clark still dealing with that groin injury imaging is what caused her to miss last night but

01:10caitlin and her team like and that the team i don't think actually meant to be the indiana fever

01:15the team around her so what are we actually doing like it's up to her it should be up to the team by

01:19saying hey look we need you down the stretch we want to win a championship the only way we do that is

01:25healthy i understand for your brand purposes in the wmba yeah they'd like to see out there making

01:29a cameo appearance but you should just be getting as healthy as you can off your feet resting and

01:34rehab here as opposed to trying to put on a show because the one thing you let athletes up to playing

01:38they'll play and specifically with these injuries it's one thing we say i have a broken bone and a

01:44cast i can't play but it's hard to tell an athlete like well i'm not used to a groin injury i'm not

01:48used to a hamstring injury or a quad injury i can tough these out you can't tough out

01:53muscle tissue injuries because they always get worse the only way they heal is 100 complete

01:59then you get back out on the court but athletes are not used to these injuries feel like they can

02:04play through it and now is what we're getting right the quad the hamstring now the groin what else is next
