Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will not participate in this weekend's WNBA All-Star events, she announced via the team Thursday, after she suffered a right groin injury Tuesday.

Clark, who has dealt with injury issues much of the season, had been named a starter and captain for Saturday's All-Star Game last month after receiving the most fan votes. She had also been announced to participate in the first 3-point contest of her career.

"I'm so excited for Indy to host WNBA All-Star this weekend. ... I know this will be the best All-Star yet," Clark said in a statement.
