The Dallas Wings will host the Indiana Fever at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday night. Fever star Caitlin Clark did not play on Thursday against the Los Angeles Sparks due to a groin injury, however. So is Clark playing tonight vs. the Wings?

The Fever are closely monitoring Clark's status. Friday's game was being marketed by many as the opportunity to watch Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers — a battle of the two most recent top WNBA Draft picks. That marketing may not be fair as there are plenty of talented players on both sides, but Clark and Bueckers' popularity is immense.

Here is everything we know about Caitlin Clark's injury status for the Fever-Wings game on Friday night.

Caitlin Clark's injury status vs. Wings

Stephanie White told reporters on Thursday that Clark is considered day-to-day with the groin injury. The Fever guard's injury status for Friday's game is now clear, and she won't suit up in Dallas.

Clark, 23, has averaged 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game so far in the 2025 season. Her efficiency hasn't been ideal — Clark is shooting just 39 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from beyond the arc — but she is still one of the better players in the sport.
