Caitlin Clark’s quad injury has dealt a major blow to the Indiana Fever and cast a shadow over the WNBA early in the season. The Fever are set to face the Washington Mystics in their fifth game on Wednesday, but they’ll do so without their superstar guard.
Clark has been ruled out for at least two weeks due to the injury, a significant setback for a team that was hoping to build chemistry and momentum with its revamped roster. With the reigning Rookie of the Year sidelined, the pressure now falls on the rest of the squad to keep the team competitive and prevent their season from slipping off track.
Earlier, Fever coach Steph White expressed uncertainty after practice about whether Caitlin Clark would travel with the team for their upcoming matchup against the Washington Mystics. However, Indiana's social media later posted photos and videos of players boarding a flight to Baltimore, and Clark was among them.

With Clark sidelined due to injury, White confirmed that veteran guard Sydney Colson will step into the starting lineup. The two-time WNBA champion now has the task of filling the void left by Clark, who had been the focal point of the Fever's offense through the first four games.
Clark had an impressive start to the season before her injury. In four appearances, she averaged 19 points, 9.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game while shooting 40.3% from the field, including 31.4% from 3-point range. She also contributed 1.3 steals and 1 block per game, further highlighting her all-around impact.
