Caitlin Clark got a two-week timeline with his quad injury and there will be no early return.
In a highly expected matchup between Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, Clark will miss a fourth consecutive game.
“I will miss this weekend’s game, but after that is day by day and see how I feel, and just turn to the medical staff and what they think,” Clark told journalists on Thursday via ESPN. I feel that I have made a lot of progress and I am doing well and I will not hurry to come back. It’s just not worth it. But after this weekend I am reassessed and we will have a better idea of when I will return. “

The first matchup between Indiana and Chicago had some fireworks when Clark hit Angel Reese with a flagant error. Reese exempted exceptions and had to be separated while jawing in Clark.
And while Clark will surely be on the floor for this, the damage is too difficult to further risk something.
“It’s the type of damage you don’t know when I wake up, I will feel different than the day before,” Clark said.
She added that she could return on Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream – their next opponent would be the reigning champion New York Liberty, whom Clark was injured against on Saturday.

Clark admitted that being wounded is “test [her patience] A little bit, “but she tries to use the injury to her advantage by learning on the sidelines – something head coach Stephanie White wanted her to do.
“It taught me a lot,” Clark said. “I’ve never been to this position before actually seeing the bench for a long time … It’s the same as you turn on the TV and watch NBA, or you see other WNBA games – it’s the best way to learn basketball is just watching and absorbing it and it’s the same when I’m not active.”
