Caitlin Clark injury update: Is Fever star playing today vs. Sky?

The Indiana Fever are gearing up to face Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky for the second time this season, but the rivalry will be one superstar short with Caitlin Clark sidelined by injury.

Clark said she will miss her fourth consecutive game due to a left quad strain that she suffered during the Fever’s 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty on May 24. The Fever have gone 1-2 in Clark’s absence and Indiana currently sits in seventh place at 3-4 on the season.

‘I’ve never been a patient person my entire life, so this is definitely testing me a little bit,’ Clark said Thursday. ‘I think it’s gonna be really good for me. I just tried to approach it in the best way I possibly can. I can’t change it, but yeah, I think my patience has definitely grown a lot.”

Here’s everything we know about Clark’s injury and her expected timeline to return:

Is Caitlin Clark playing today?

No. Clark said Thursday she would not play in the Fever’s matchup against the Sky on Saturday, marking the fourth consecutive game she’ll miss due to a left quad injury.

“I’ll miss this weekend’s game, but after that, it’s day-by-day,’ Clark said. ‘I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress, and I feel good. I’m not going to rush back if it’s not worth it. But after this weekend I’ll be reevaluated and we’ll have a better idea of when I’m returning.’

Caitlin Clark injury update

Clark suffered a left quad strain during the Fever’s 90-88 loss to the New York Liberty on May 24, but the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year said she can’t pinpoint the specific play that caused her injury. She only knows it happened early on in the contest.

“Obviously, adrenaline covers up a lot of stuff when you’re in the heat of battle,” Clark said on Thursday. “And after the game, I had some pain, and then we got an MRI, and that kind of gave me the result that I didn’t want to see. But, you know, those types of things don’t lie.”

 The Fever initially announced that Clark would be sidelined for at least two weeks, meaning the earliest she could return to the lineup would be the Fever’s game on June 10 at the Atlanta Dream. Clark said there’s a ‘possibility’ for her to return then, but added that she won’t ‘rush back if it’s not worth it.’
