Indiana Fever Star Caitlin Clark Nears WNBA Return After Quad Injury

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been sidelined since May 24 with a left quadriceps strain and will miss the upcoming game against the Chicago Sky. While Clark has made significant progress in her recovery and remains optimistic, she emphasized the importance of not rushing her return due to the injury's day-to-day nature. She is set to be re-evaluated after the game on Saturday, with a potential return as early as the following Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream, though no guarantees have been made. In Clark's absence, the Fever have struggled, going 1-2, but managed a win against the Washington Mystics, with teammates like Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston stepping up offensively. Clark praised her teammates' resilience and acknowledged the impact of missing games for the first time in her career. The Fever and Clark continue to approach her comeback cautiously, prioritizing her long-term health over a rushed return.
