Caitlin Clark sidelined for at least two weeks due to injury

The Indiana Fever announced that star guard Caitlin Clark will be out for at least two weeks due to a left quadriceps strain. This injury was revealed on Monday, May 26, 2025, following Clark's participation in the Fever's first four games of the 2025 WNBA season, including a notable loss against the New York Liberty where she performed effectively. Clark's average stats have been impressive, boasting 19 points, 9.3 assists, and 6 rebounds, showcasing her key role in the team's offense since she won Rookie of the Year the previous season. The injury occurred during a game against New York, and the Fever organization did not specify exactly when the injury took place, indicating that their further updates will be provided after Clark’s re-evaluation. As a result of this injury, Clark will miss several upcoming games including matchups against the Washington Mystics, Chicago Sky, and Connecticut Sun, which are crucial as the Fever aim for better standings in the early part of the season. Clark's absence has significant implications for the Fever's strategy and dynamics on the court, as she has been pivotal in their recent performances. The Fever currently sit at a record of 2-2, and Clark's performance has been integral to their hopes of improving this season compared to last. The team is looking to navigate these upcoming games without their star player and will need to rely on others to step up in her absence. Once Clark is re-evaluated, if recovery goes well, she may be able to return for a game against the Atlanta Dream on June 10, 2025. This return would be keenly anticipated as it would also lead her back into competition against her rival, Angel Reese, in a highly viewed matchup current and past fans are eager to witness again.
