What does Caitlin Clark’s injury mean for Indiana Fever?

Caitlin Clark missed the first preseason game against the Washington Mystics with a left quadriceps injury. Although she returned for the start of the season, she has seemingly aggravated the issue again.

Clark will be out for a minimum of two weeks in an important stretch of the season. During this stretch, the Fever play four games: two against the Mystics, one against the Connecticut Sun and one against Angel Reese's Chicago Sky.

The Sun and the Sky are winless and the Mystics have lost three of their first five games.

Clark did an excellent job as a scoring point guard, averaging 19.0 points and 9.3 assists. In her absence, veteran guard Sydney Colson will take up more responsibility.
