Skip Bayless raises questions about Caitlin Clark's groin injury

While the Fever have been consistent with their message about Caitlin Clark's recovery being on the right track, Skip Bayless has raised eyebrows with his latest question. In the latest episode of his "The Skip Bayless Show" on Friday, the sports analyst questioned the validity of the WNBA's and Fever's claim.

Alluding to Clark's long absence, Bayless wondered if the Fever star had torn her groin and was out for the season.

"Is it possible that this time, she tore her groin so badly that she's already been privately ruled out for the rest of the season, yet the league wants to keep the media and the fans in the dark about this so that people keep tuning in, figuring, 'Oh, she'll be back soon,'" Bayless said. "Is that what’s going on? Maybe."
