Caitlin Clark injury: Indiana Fever star out two weeks with quad strain

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will miss at least two weeks with a left quad strain according to a release from the team. Clark was off to a hot start to the 2025 WNBA season.

The Fever are currently 2-2 on the season are back in action Wednesday against the Washington Mystics. The earliest Clark could potentially return, giving the two-week timeframe, would be June 10 at the Atlanta Dream. If that’s the case, Clark would miss the next four games.

In her last action, Clark and the Fever lost 90-88 to the New York Liberty (3-0). She put up 18 points, five rebounds and 10 assists. The 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year has big plans for her and her team this season, going further in the playoffs and competing for a championship.

But there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Clark on and off the court, at least in terms of the buzz. Recently, there was no foul called against Liberty guard Natasha Cloud when she guarded Clark on a potential game winner.

As the buzzer sounded, Clark threw her hands up and began to walk toward the official to state her case. Her pleas were ignored and the Fever dropped to 2-2 on the young season. In the loss, she contributed 18 points on just 6-18 shooting but did not touch on the officiating postgame. In fact, she had not even seen a replay of the play yet.

“I’d have to go back and watch,” Clark said. “I don’t know,” she responded when asked if she was fouled. Frustration seems to be boiling up a bit for the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, who is now 2-16 from three-point range over her past two games.

Not only that, but Clark and Angel Reese’s rivalry reached new heights when the two were nearly involved in a scuffle. That came after a hard foul from Clark in an attempt to block a shot in a Fever win over the Chicago Sky. Both claimed it was a basketball play, but it suddenly turned into a broader conversation, including race as it pertains to Clark vs. Reese.
