Lexie Hull Gets Honest About Caitlin Clark 'Why Me?' Questions Amid Injury

Caitlin Clark suffered a right groin injury during the Indiana Fever's July 15 game against the Connecticut Sun, marking her fourth soft tissue injury since April. Visibly dejected, she placed her forehead against a basket stanchion and later covered her head with a towel on the bench, where teammate Lexie Hull comforted her. The article notes Clark had never experienced injuries prior to this season, compounding her frustration.

Ahead of Indiana's July 22 game against the New York Liberty (which Clark missed), Hull discussed Clark's emotional state with reporter Robin Lundberg. Hull acknowledged Clark's understandable frustration—including thoughts of "Why now, why me?"—but emphasized Clark's resilience and strong support system from teammates, friends, and family. Hull expressed confidence Clark would recover mentally and physically from the setback.

The timeline for Clark's return remains uncertain as she continues medical evaluations. The article concludes that her frustration is justified, and the Fever urgently need her back on the court given her importance to the team.
