NextImg:Caitlin Clark won’t rush injury return as Fever outlook remains murky

Caitlin Clark will not be back on the court by this weekend’s slate of games — including a date with the Chicago Sky — but the Fever superstar will be reevaluated over the weekend and expects to be “day-to-day” afterward. 

The biggest name in women’s basketball has been sidelined for at least two weeks with a quad strain that was revealed on Memorial Day

“See how I feel, and just turn to the medical staff and what they think,” Clark told reporters. “I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress and I feel good, and I’m not going to rush coming back. It’s just not worth it. But after this weekend, I’ll be re-evaluated and we’ll have a better idea of when I’ll return.”

Clark has missed three games so far because of the injury, though there is some hope she could be back as early as Tuesday. 

Indiana would happily welcome Clark back into the lineup with the Dream and Liberty on deck after they face the Sky over the weekend. 

Clark did hedge any talk of a return by Tuesday with a “we’ll see.”

“We’re trying not to put an exact date out there, because it is kind of a day-by-day thing and see how I feel,” Clark said. “It’s the type of injury like, you don’t know, when I wake up, I’ll feel different than the day before. We’ll see. It could be a possibility, but I could also not be available for that game, too.”

The injury occurred during the Fever’s loss to the Liberty on May 24 and the current stretch marked the first time in her time in college basketball and in the pros that she’s missed any games. 

The Fever have gone 1-2 without Clark in the lineup and has been averaging 19.0 points per game and 9.3 assists per game this season before the injury.
