Caitlin Clark injury: How long will Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark be out? How many games will she miss?
Fever: Caitlin Clark (quad) is out. The Fever anticipate her missing two weeks.
Sun: Marina Mabrey (quad) and Olivia Nelson-Odada (ankle) are questionable. Lindsay Allen (hamstring) is out.
Why is Caitlin Clark not playing today?
Fever second-year guard Caitlin Clark is out with a left quadriceps injury. She dealt with a similar injury during preseason, but team officials say this one is different.
Fever coach Steph White added that she does not know the specific strain of Clark’s injury. Based on her reevaluation timeline of two weeks, however, it is likely a Grade I or II strain. A Grade I strain is mild and only involves a small number of muscle fibers, according to the Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Centre, and there is usually pain and tightness but no loss of function. It usually takes two weeks to recover from a Grade I strain. A Grade II strain is slightly more serious, where there would be some loss of function, and that typically takes 4-6 weeks for a full recovery.
Caitlin Clark stats
In four games this season, Caitlin Clark averaged 19.0 points, 9.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making 31.4% of her 3-pointers.
