Caitlin Clark will not be playing in tonight’s Indiana Fever game against the Washington Mystics, as the star rookie continues to recover from a left quadriceps strain. The injury, first announced after the Fever’s May 25 loss to the New York Liberty, is expected to keep Clark off the court for at least two weeks, with some experts warning her absence could extend closer to a month Clark’s earliest possible return is projected for June against the Atlanta Dream, but no official timeline has been confirmed.
The Indiana Fever are dealing with a string of injuries. Alongside Clark, Sophie Cunningham and Sydney Colson will also be out for Tuesday’s matchup after sustaining injuries during the recent loss to the Connecticut Sun This has left the Fever short-handed, prompting the team to sign Aari McDonald on an emergency hardship contract to bolster their roster.
Clark’s injury is a significant blow for the Fever, who have struggled in her absence, losing three straight games. The team and fans are anxiously awaiting updates, but for now, Indiana will have to compete without several key players as they look to end their losing streak.
