Caitlin Clark misses another game at Barclays due to groin injury

Liberty fans will need to hope for a potential playoff matchup to see Caitlin Clark play in Brooklyn this year.

The Fever megastar missed Tuesday’s 98-84 Liberty victory at Barclays Center with a right groin injury, which she suffered in a win over the Sun on July 15.

The Liberty hosted the Fever just last week in their last game before the All-Star break, but Clark sat out with the injury, making it twice in a week the Barclays Center crowd missed the league’s top attraction.

The Liberty did face a healthy Clark and the Fever twice earlier in the season — which they split — but both games were in Indiana.

Fever coach Stephanie White does not yet have a timetable for Clark’s return.

Clark met with doctors Monday and Tuesday for additional opinions on the injury.

The injury forced Clark to pull out of the All-Star Game and 3-point contest.

Clark’s second season in the league has been marred by injuries.

Including Tuesday’s game, she has played in just 13 of the Fever’s 24 games this season.

The Liberty were set to be at full strength for the first time all season, but Nyara Sabally was downgraded to out for Tuesday’s game.

She didn’t participate in shootaround Tuesday morning.

Coach Sandy Brondello said they were just being cautious with Sabally’s knee, which bothered her earlier this season.

Sabrina Ionescu was one of the players who wore a shirt with the message “Pay us what you owe us” during warmups ahead of the All-Star Game, amid CBA negotiations between the league and players.

She explained the rationale behind the decision Tuesday.

“That’s what we’re in the room talking about, is understanding what’s important to not only the top players, but the middle players, the new players coming in,” Ionescu said. “It’s figuring out where we can meet in the middle and trying to accommodate everyone. And that’s tough in a negotiation, when it’s not just one player demanding what they want but trying to understand how it impacts the rest of the league and the future of our league. That’s something we’re really talking about, trying to put our best minds together and figuring out what that looks like on revenue share, on valuation on new teams coming in, how that impacts [us].”
