Caitlin Clark didn't join any All-Star events this year due to a groin injury, which also put her on the shelf for the All-Star game on Sunday.

Clark should have been a starter and team captain, but the injury held her back. She was also supposed to be in the 3-point shootout but was replaced by her Fever teammate Lexie Hull.

The Fever star has missed 11 games this season and is averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists.
