On Monday, Indiana announced Clark would be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a left quadriceps strain. She will be reevaluated June 9, and Wednesday’s game against Washington will be the first of the four games she is expected to miss.
Clark also took a photo on the sidelines while her teammates engaged in their pregame warmups. Indy Star's Chloe Peterson shared the clip of Clark holding a camera on X.
Veteran Sydney Colson has been inserted into the starting lineup in Clark’s place. Colson signed a one-year deal with the Fever this offseason. She is in her 11th WNBA season and was part of the Las Vegas Aces’ back-to-back title run in 2022 and 2023.
Another player expected to pick up the void left by Clark is guard Sophie Cunningham, who was acquired via a trade in the offseason.
Fever coach says Caitlin Clark's injury is an opportunity for her to learn via a 'different lens'
Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White shared a positive outlook on Caitlin Clark’s injury. Speaking with reporters before the game, White said Clark will have a more involved role on the bench while sidelined.
"It gives Caitlin an opportunity to look at it a little bit more from a coach's perspective," White said. "We'll want her to sit closest to our coaches so that she can hear some of the conversations, hear points of emphasis and see it through a different lens."
Caitlin Clark is expected to miss three more games: the two-game homestand against the Connecticut Sun on Friday and the Washington Mystics on June 3, and the game against Angel Reese’s Chicago Sky on June 7.
With Clark's injury reassessment date set for June 9, her status for the Fever's road game against the Atlanta Dream on June 10 is also uncertain.
