Basketball player Angel Reese misses Sky's last match prior to All-Star break due to a leg injury
In a recent turn of events, two star players, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, are facing setbacks as they prepare for the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis.
Caitlin Clark, a second-year All-Star, is in doubt for the upcoming game due to a groin injury sustained during a victory over the Connecticut Sun in Boston[1]. The injury occurred in a game where Clark scored an impressive 22 points and secured 10 rebounds, marking her ninth straight double-double[1]. This impressive performance against the Sun took place before the All-Star break, and the opponent for Clark's potential game has not been specified[1].
Meanwhile, Angel Reese, also a second-year All-Star, missed the Chicago Sky’s final game before the All-Star break due to a leg injury[2]. Despite this setback, Reese is still scheduled to make her second All-Star Game appearance this weekend in Indianapolis[1]. However, no further details about the severity of the injury or her expected readiness for the All-Star Game have been provided in the available reports[1][2].
The Chicago Sky hosted the Atlanta Dream in the game that Reese missed due to her injury[2]. The impact of these injuries on the games, especially for Clark in her home arena, remains to be seen.
Notably, Clark leads the WNBA with an average of 12.6 rebounds per game[1]. Her double-double, achieved in Chicago's 91-78 loss to Minnesota, was her ninth consecutive double-double[1].
As the WNBA All-Star Game approaches, fans and teams alike will be keeping a close eye on the progress of these two promising stars, hoping for their swift recovery and exciting performances in Indianapolis.
