But Gilli's mapped Clark's future after she is finished with the WNBA.

“When Caitlin Clark retires from WNBA, she will work in a waffle house so that she can continue to do what she faithfully fought with a fist,” he said from the crowd.

Clark was not at the Espys on Wednesday, since after an obvious injury while the team's victory against the Connecticut Sun, she continued to be rated. She came from the ground from the ground on Tuesday evening and was seen in tears on the bench.

The Fever star should be a captain in the all-star game and should take part in the 3-point shooting competition. But all of this seemed in the air.

“No discussion about this weekend,” said Fever chief coach Stephanie White on Wednesday evening. “Imagination was taken, and obviously we rule it out for tonight, but there was no discussion about no discussion tonight.”

Clark suffered a groin injury late in the fourth quarter of Indiana's victory over the sun in Boston on Tuesday evening. White said she didn't think it was a “rejuvenation”. Clark missed the time in May due to a quad injury and was recently discontinued for five games with a left -wing business.

“I am not sure whether it is a rejoice like a different kind of injury. I often know when you work with injuries in the groin area and in the quad and the knee tendon, and all of these things only exist – they are all connected and it is not always one thing.”
