Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has strained a quadricep muscle and will be out for at least two weeks, the team announced on Monday. The specifics of how the injury occurred have not been disclosed. During her recovery, Clark is set to miss four upcoming games: a Wednesday matchup against the Washington Mystics, a home game on Friday against the Connecticut Sun, a June 3 home game versus the Mystics, and a June 7 game at the Chicago Sky.
At just 23 years old, Clark had a stellar rookie season, playing in all 44 regular-season games for the Fever and earning the Rookie of the Year accolade. This season, she has continued to impress, participating in all four of Indiana’s games and averaging 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game. Notably, during her collegiate career at Iowa, she played in every single one of the 139 games across four years, culminating in her recognition as the all-time leading scorer in women’s college basketball.
This injury poses a significant interruption for both Clark and the Fever, who will now have to strategize their games without their star player. As Clark begins her recovery, fans and the team will be closely monitoring her progress. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
