Caitlin Clark Injury Will Force Her Out of Angel Reese Match

The WNBA star earlier suffered quad tightness on the same leg.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will be out for at least two weeks after suffering a left quadricep strain, the team announced Monday. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year had never missed a game throughout her four years in Iowa and her first pro season. During training camp, however, she suffered a left quad injury that forced her to sit out the Fever’s preseason opener against the Washington Mystics. It was “probably just a little too much basketball,” she told local media at the time. A Fever spokesperson told ESPN that although the latest quad strain is on the same leg, the injury is new. The team said further updates will be provided after re-evaluation. The Fever’s first game without Clark will be against the Mystics in Baltimore on Wednesday. Clark is also expected to miss the games against the Connecticut Sun on Friday, the Mystics on June 3rd, and Angel Reese’s side Chicago Sky on June 7th. The Fever was seventh in the WNBA standings with a 2-2 record as of Monday.
