Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has puzzled her fans with her soccer showing during a charity event in her home state of Iowa this week, where she twisted her hips and swiftly kicked a ball into the goal.
The Caitlin Clark Foundation unveiled a new multi-use court and gave out school supplies at McCombs Middle School in Des Moines on Monday.
Clark had to try out the court her foundation donated, running to a soccer ball and struck it with her right foot with the proper form one would see from Chelsea dynamo Cole Palmer.
Clark has stayed publicly visible despite her groin injury, that has kept her out of Indiana’s last four games, and is already ruled out of Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury.
The phenom also sparked confusion on the matter earlier this month when she and fellow WNBA players descended on Indianapolis nightclub, INVY, for the All Star Champagne Launch Party, with her jumping around at the venue.
Now, with a sport she played in high school returning in front of cameras, her WNBA followers are now wondering now injured Clark actually is.

Clark has been out of the Fever lineup for multiple stretches this season with her injuries
‘Bruh…this and jumping up and down on the sidelines what are we doing,; one fan said.
‘Oh yeah, that groin is looking real sore. Either she’s almost back to 100% or there’s some real bs goin on,’ a second person stated.
‘If she can do that hip motion, she needs to be playing basketball,’ a third continued.
‘Well, she doesn’t appear to be experiencing any right groin pain when she does this kick, so that’s good,’ a fourth concluded.
Clark has missed more than a dozen games this season with her multiple injuries, which began in late May and have continued into July, causing her to miss the All-Star Game, where she was voted a captain in her second professional season.
A collection of social-media messages from Caitlin Clark’s fans about her soccer showing
Highlights from her career playing soccer were seemingly first posted to YouTube about ten months ago – showing off her proficiency in the sport while in high school.
Comments at the time reflected some people’s wonder at what may have been if Clark decided to stick with the sport.
‘Would’ve loved to see [her] stick with soccer. Bet she’d be playing in Europe right now,’ read one comment on a post to Reddit.
‘God has their favorites, and clearly I don’t number amongst them,’ said another Redditor.
Now, it is only a matter of time until we see if Clark’s soccer form leads to a quick return to the court.
