It looks like fans are up in arms over Caitlin Clark kicking a ball despite having a groin injury. I mean, we get it, injuries suck and you should probably take it easy, but let’s cut the girl some slack. She’s a fierce competitor and probably just couldn’t resist getting back out on the field.
We’re not doctors here, so if she’s risking further injury by not taking it easy, maybe it’s time for a reality check. Injuries are no joke and healing properly is key to getting back in the game.
The star Fever guard — who has not suited up since July 15 when she sustained a groin injury versus the Sun — raised the eyebrows of some social media users when she was seen kicking a soccer ball around in footage from a recent visit to McCombs Middle School in Des Moines, where she opened a new basketball court with the Caitlin Clark Foundation.
“Did she forget she has a groin injury?” one X user remarked Tuesday.
“If she can do that hip motion, she needs to be playing basketball,” another stated.
One fan urged Clark, 23, “to rest and get healed!”
You all take a step back and let Caitlin do what’s best for her body. After all, we want to see her back in action at 100% in no time.
