Caitlin Clark News Surfaces on Monday Amid Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has missed the last four games with a left quadriceps strain that she suffered May 24 against the New York Liberty. Despite that, she’s averaging 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game this WNBA season.

She was originally given a timetable of at least two weeks before being reevaluated. As the two-week mark approached, Clark admitted there was no point in rushing back, as getting to 100% health was of the utmost importance.
“I’m not going to rush coming back,” Clark said. “It’s just not worth it. But after this weekend, I’ll be reevaluated and we’ll have a better idea.”
Meanwhile, the weekend has since passed, and the Fever have gone 2-2 without her, sitting at 4-4 on the season.

The team held practice on Monday before traveling to Atlanta to face the Dream on Tuesday. Afterward, head coach Stephanie White spoke to the media and announced that Clark won’t play for the fifth straight game.

“Not for tomorrow, no,” White said when she asked if Clark would be in the lineup against the Dream. “I think for us, we got to work both her and Sophie (Cunningham) back. Are they in basketball condition? What does it mean to go live? It’s one thing to do some shooting drills. It’s another thing to get out there on the floor. “
While this isn’t the update Fever fans wanted to hear, things are heading in the right direction as Clark is ready to start “ramping back up.” Clark joined the team on Monday for some shooting and was seen running to grab a rebound.
Despite not having Clark and Cunningham once again, having White back after she missed Saturday’s game against the Chicago Sky for “personal reasons” is good news.

White’s partner, Lisa Salters, an ESPN sideline reporter, also missed Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, likely for the same reason.
